What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a result-oriented Frontend Engineer with more than 6 years of experience in designing, developing, and leading high-impact applications. My passion lies in creating intuitive and visually appealing solutions that enhance user engagement. I possess strong written and verbal communication skills, which have enabled me to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, including Senior Frontend Engineer at BetPaka, where I led the UI/UX development team and mentored other developers. My experience at the Artificial Intelligence Research Lab involved authoring requirements documents and designing CI/CD pipelines, significantly reducing deployment times. I have a proven track record of delivering exceptional user experiences and optimizing workflows.
