What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, high-performance React/TypeScript products—owning frontend architecture and design systems, improving accessibility, and mentoring teams to ship faster with consistent standards.

I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with more than 10 years of experience building production web applications across React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Python, SQL, and API-driven systems. I’ve led frontend architecture, reusable component libraries, accessibility improvements, and performance tuning for enterprise platforms serving public sector, healthcare, and financial teams.

My recent work centers on React-based interfaces, REST APIs, and Django REST Framework integrations, with a focus on secure data workflows. I shipped Chakra UI components and a shared design system that cut duplicate UI code by 40%, and I owned state management and routing to improve page load time from 3.8 seconds to 1.4 seconds on data-heavy views.

I’m also proud of practical delivery outcomes: integrating API payloads reduced contract mismatches and sped end-to-end delivery by 2 weeks, while accessibility work brought key screens to WCAG-aligned behavior. I mentor engineers through code reviews, tighten testing patterns with React Testing Library and Jest, and help distributed teams increase maintainability and usability without sacrificing reliability.
