## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to deliver scalable, accessible React and Next.js solutions through responsive design, effective state management, and cross-functional collaboration.
```

## About

```text
I've built high-traffic product-page experiences at Beyond Inc. (formerly Overstock.com), using React.js and Next.js to improve scalability, performance, accessibility, and user experience.

I revamped a Next.js product-page application for faster load times and WCAG compliance, and architected a customer ratings and reviews application with RESTful APIs for real-time retrieval and submissions.

I also created internal tools that reduced email development time by 20% and automated third-party coupon workflows that reduced manual effort by 40%. My work includes responsive mobile-first design, state management, shared internal packages, and end-to-end feature delivery.

I've maintained over 90% automated test coverage with Jest and React Testing Library, managed Git and CI/CD workflows, and mentored four junior developers in modern practices and scalable architecture.
