What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote position that fosters collaboration and innovation, where I can continue to grow my skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated Front End Engineer with over 7 years of experience specializing in React development. My journey has taken me through various roles, where I have honed my skills in building interactive and efficient web applications. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about creating seamless, high-performing user interfaces that enhance user experience.

At Meta, I have successfully built scalable web applications using React.js and Next.js, focusing on performance and SEO optimization. My expertise in state management with Redux Toolkit and Zustand has significantly improved code maintainability. Additionally, I have a strong background in integrating GraphQL and REST APIs, which has allowed me to deliver real-time, interactive interfaces that meet user needs.

Previously, I worked at Netflix, where I developed user-facing features for high-traffic platforms, refactored legacy code, and collaborated with backend teams to ensure secure data handling. My commitment to continuous learning and delivering robust web solutions drives my professional ethos, and I am excited to bring my skills to new challenges.
