Senior full-stack engineer modernizing enterprise apps with Angular/React and secure auth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior software engineer and full-stack developer with 15+ years of enterprise experience building scalable, secure JavaScript applications with Angular and React. I’m known for blending strong architectural decision-making with hands-on execution, especially when modernizing legacy systems or building greenfield UI platforms from concept through production.
Most recently, I created and maintained greenfield white-label Angular enterprise PWAs with dynamic, Prismic-driven branding delivered through a Node server across multiple environments hosted originally on Heroku and migrated to AWS. I led a comprehensive authentication overhaul with Okta for standard login, secure SSO, and modern passwordless workflows, while also establishing Docker-based containerization and CI/CD workflows enforcing Checkmarx security scans and linting before deployment.
On the front end, I focused on modernization and performance by implementing offline capabilities aligned with WCAG accessibility standards, managing state via NgRx, and refactoring to standalone components. I also integrated Cursor AI tools into our workflow, pairing prompt engineering with rigorous code reviews to ensure AI-assisted output stays readable and maintainable in an enterprise setting.
I’ve delivered production PWA experiences like Fish Online (React PWA with Node backend and SQL) with offline-first data submission and automatic synchronization, and I’ve led UI development efforts including component library/style guides and React upgrades with Hooks support. Earlier roles included improving React touch-screen UI reliability with Jasmine unit testing, delivering Angular apps for Tizen/SamsungTV OS, and supporting revenue-generating web application development.
