What I'm looking for

I seek frontend roles where I can build scalable React/Next.js interfaces, collaborate with design/product, lead component architecture, and continue growing technically and as a mentor.

I am a frontend developer with two years of hands-on experience building modern, scalable user interfaces using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS, and with practical knowledge integrating RESTful APIs and backend services.

I have translated UX designs into reusable component libraries, documented work in Storybook and Confluence, and contributed to cross-functional teams—delivering a design system reused across multiple projects and improving feature implementation speed.

I also lead frontend architecture for freelance projects, implemented secure authentication (JWT/NextAuth), optimized performance with Next.js static rendering, and mentored candidates as a teaching assistant—balancing technical execution with product and design alignment.
