What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a frontend role where I can build scalable Next.js/React products in an Agile team, collaborate closely with UI/UX and product, and own the delivery of polished, user-friendly features end to end.

I'm a Frontend Developer with 5 years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I specialize in turning complex product requirements into clean, maintainable code that delivers real business value.

Over the years I've worked across diverse industries — from SaaS and travel tech to fashion and fintech. At GoPaddi, I built frontend features for a travel technology platform serving thousands of users. At Parrotica, I developed a bulk SMS platform and integrated a payment gateway from scratch. At Ethnocentrique, I delivered a responsive, cross-device website celebrating African creative culture using Next.js and TypeScript.

I'm comfortable working independently in fully remote, asynchronous environments and collaborating closely with backend developers, UI/UX designers, and product managers. I'm now looking for a long-term remote engagement with an international team where I can contribute meaningfully and grow as an engineer.
