What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior frontend roles where I can lead performant, accessible web projects using React/TypeScript, mentor teams, improve CI/CD and testing, and work in collaborative, product-focused environments.

I am a Frontend Engineer with over seven years building scalable, performant, and accessible large-scale web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks.

I've driven measurable improvements — for example, upgrading a Transfer Service Portlet to Vite that produced a 70% faster build and significant bundle reductions — and led UI/UX enhancements across React and Vue projects while owning testing, CI/CD and code review processes.

I enjoy mentoring peers, improving developer workflows, and shipping polished user experiences; I'm seeking opportunities to lead frontend initiatives that prioritize performance, accessibility, and strong team collaboration.
