What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-focused team where I can lead design system evolution, build scalable component architectures, and partner with design to reduce UI inconsistencies—while shipping meaningful improvements (including AI-powered features) and learning fast.

I’m a Frontend Engineer with over 6 years of experience in design systems and product-focused development, and I’m expert in React and component-driven architecture. At Enhancv, I led the evolution of an internal design system—boosting development speed and reducing UI inconsistencies—while co-architecting a second brand’s design system from inception.

I connect design and engineering through component-driven workflows, integrating Figma with scalable frontend architecture to eliminate ad-hoc styles. I’ve also built CMS-driven infrastructure for marketing teams, shipped AI-powered resume features leveraging ChatGPT, and run A/B testing cycles to refine UX flows; earlier roles included building an insurance policy management platform with React and Redux and teaching frontend fundamentals as a Software University instructor.
