@ggmanolo
Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in React/Next.js, product-focused and design-driven.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with over 10 years building production-ready web applications focused on product experience and visual quality. I specialize in React and Next.js and bring strong frontend architecture combined with design sensitivity.
I thrive at the intersection of engineering and design, acting as the bridge between product vision and technical execution in fully remote, international teams. I have led migrations, defined frontend standards, and owned end-to-end product deliveries.
My achievements include leading frontend disciplines, building marketing sites and product surfaces from scratch, integrating headless CMS solutions via GraphQL, and optimizing SEO and Core Web Vitals. I emphasize pixel-perfect UI, performance, and maintainable codebases.
I work well with designers and cross-functional teams, introducing modern frontend patterns, type-safe data flows, and developer-first tooling to improve quality and velocity. I seek roles where I can drive frontend strategy, mentor teams, and deliver exceptional product experiences.
