Senior Frontend Developer and Team Lead building scalable React/Next.js apps with performance, accessibility, and clean architecture.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Frontend Developer and Team Lead with 4+ years of experience delivering scalable web applications across EdTech, B2B SaaS, telecommunications, e-commerce, and non-profit teams. I specialize in React.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js, and Redux, and I’m known for reusable component architecture, seamless API integration, and production-ready delivery end-to-end.
In my recent roles, I led frontend delivery for multiple enterprise and SaaS products, ran code reviews, mentored junior developers, and improved key performance outcomes—like reducing page load time by 30% and cutting iteration cycles by 25%. I also prioritize quality through WCAG accessibility, strong API patterns (Axios/Redux, RESTful APIs, GraphQL where needed), and careful performance and security improvements.
