What I'm looking for

I want to help build scalable, standards-driven frontend systems—leading architecture and mentorship while still shipping real features. I’m happiest partnering with backend teams and shaping the way teams develop, not just the UI they produce.

I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with 10+ years of experience, increasingly focused on technical leadership—frontend architecture, team mentorship, and engineering standards. I lead frontend projects end-to-end, from defining tech stacks and migration strategies to building component libraries and scalable development workflows.

My core expertise is React and TypeScript. I’ve built real-time data visualization and dashboards, delivered role-based access experiences, and improved platform performance through careful state management and modernization efforts.

I thrive in environments where I contribute both technically and strategically—shaping how frontend teams build, not just what they build. In recent roles, I migrated legacy systems (WordPress → React/Next.js), established engineering standards (linting pipelines, pre-commit hooks, structured Git workflows), and supported teams with reusable Storybook-driven UI.

I’m experienced across React/TypeScript platforms used for education and government applications, and I’ve collaborated closely with backend teams working with Python/Django and Node.js. Whether it’s migrating to Next.js with SSR or evolving global state from React Context to Zustand + TanStack Query, I focus on scalability, maintainability, and measurable performance.
