What I'm looking for

Seeking remote Senior/Lead/Staff Frontend Engineer or React/Next.js architect contracts, ideally 3–12+ months, with European or international companies that accept Morocco-based contractors. Also open to full-stack SaaS engagements and AI-integrated product engineering. Prefer autonomy, clear ownership, and sensible meeting schedules.

Senior frontend engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable SaaS products and full-stack web applications. I specialize in React, Next.js, TypeScript, frontend architecture, design systems, performance, accessibility, and robust automated testing. At YourCampus, Alleo, and now Epassi, I've worked on HR-tech products serving more than 5,000 employers and a large European workforce. As the sole frontend owner of the manager portal, I lead frontend technical decisions and collaborate with product and backend teams on complex B2B workflows, reusable interfaces, and dependable delivery. I also founded Pixel Shades, where I build and deliver web applications, e-commerce platforms, and custom back-office systems. My broader experience includes Node.js, React Native/Expo, and API-driven applications. I'm open to remote senior frontend, React/Next.js, SaaS product engineering, and selected full-stack contracts. I bring hands-on engineering ownership from architecture to implementation, testing, and release. Portfolio: https://faycal.benlarbidelai.com/
