Senior Frontend Developer, contributing to a loyalty platform from inception to launch with React and TypeScript.

Romania
Message

I my current position, I contribute to frontend development for a major loyalty platform, from inception to launch. I use React and TypeScript to create user interfaces and Redux Toolkit and React Context to manage application state.

I use Claude in my daily development workflow for implementation, debugging, and code review. I also work with Jenkins, Envoyer, and Laravel Forge to support deployment pipelines.

On my own projects, I built Tippy, a tip-calculator and bill-splitting app on the Play Store with automatic currency conversion. I also made a dark-mode browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and use a Proxmox and Docker homelab to self-host and experiment.

Before my current role, I co-founded Accolade Media SRL and worked on React and React Native features, Node.js backend code, and web application interfaces.

I’ve also worked as a photographer and videographer since 2011.
