What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a high-leverage engineering role to drive innovation—building performance-optimized, accessible web/mobile experiences, scaling design systems and APIs, and partnering closely with product teams to deliver measurable UX impact.

I’m a Frontend Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience scaling web and mobile applications for global travel tech, fleet industry, and AI-driven SaaS. At DAILYLABS, I led critical onboarding, user analytics, and charts work that directly impacted two major clients and added recurring revenue, while optimizing global filtering performance from 3s to 100ms for thousands of users.

I’m obsessive about maintainable architecture and measurable UX. I refactored Pulse into a consolidated, reusable codebase (components and APIs), reducing development costs by 75% and improving maintainability, and I productized 10+ CoreUI components inside a central design system. I’ve also strengthened reliability by writing unit tests (increasing coverage to ~80%), resolving production issues during code freezes, and using performance practices tied to Core Web Vitals—while supporting my teams through mentoring and knowledge sharing.
