What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role where I can lead frontend/full-stack work, improve platform reliability, mentor engineers, and drive scalable DevOps and component initiatives.

I am a Staff Engineer and Frontend Lead with extensive experience building and operating large-scale web applications, leading cross-functional teams, and driving engineering best practices.

I have led frontend and full-stack development efforts using React, Angular, Java, Kotlin, Node.js and modern DevOps tooling, created company-wide component libraries, and delivered multiple micro-frontend PoCs.

My responsibilities have included designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines, configuring cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, Azure), ensuring availability and security of systems, and acting as a mentor and technical leader through hiring, code reviews, and performance management.

I focus on pragmatic engineering, knowledge sharing, and fostering high-performing teams while contributing to architecture, testing strategy, and developer productivity improvements.
