Dabo Johnson

I’m a Frontend Engineer and full-stack developer with hands-on experience building high-quality, user-centric applications. I translate complex, AI-powered product ideas into intuitive, performant end-to-end experiences—from database/API design to polished UI delivery.

In my recent role as a Frontend Developer, I optimized page load speed by 40% and streamlined frontend bundle size to improve performance and load times. I also boosted user engagement by 20% through intuitive UI/UX enhancements, while modernizing 100% of legacy components and pages for better maintainability and scalability.

I’ve taken ownership across the full development lifecycle, including architecture decisions, backend integrations, and interaction details. I collaborate closely with backend and design teams to accelerate delivery without sacrificing craft or product quality.

Through freelance work, I designed and developed a full-stack e-commerce platform with secure authentication and authorization (JWT), RESTful APIs (Node.js/Express), and payment processing (Stripe). I built responsive React experiences and managed the MongoDB schema, optimizing performance with lazy loading, API optimization, and efficient state management using React Query and Zustand.
