What I'm looking for

I seek senior frontend roles where I can improve performance, security, and testability while mentoring teams and delivering user-focused, scalable products.

I am a results-driven Senior Frontend Engineer with over five years of experience building scalable, performant, and secure enterprise applications. I specialize in React, Node.js, and TypeScript and focus on measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and security.

At Build with Assembly I re-architected frontend delivery with Sitecore and server-side rendering, cutting TTFB by ~50% and page load times by ~70%, and led test strategy adoption that improved coverage and reduced incidents. I mentor junior engineers and apply AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery.

Previously at Aku Microfinance Bank I designed a nationwide agency banking web application with near-100% uptime, modular payment widgets, and hardened frontend security (XSS/CSRF protections), driving significant improvements in payment flow duration, feature adoption, and visibility into malicious activity.

I bring strong skills in testing, analytics, accessibility, CI/CD, and modern frontend architecture, and I aim to deliver robust, user-focused products through cross-functional collaboration and automation.
