What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Frontend Engineering Lead/Tech Lead role where I can set standards, guide architecture, mentor engineers, and improve performance through scalable design systems—using AI-assisted workflows to ship high-quality UI faster.

I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with 13+ years of experience architecting scalable, high-performance web applications across SaaS, product, and agency environments. I’m known for delivering 80+ production-ready interfaces and improving UI performance by 35% through memoisation, code splitting, and render-cycle optimisation.

In my current role, I independently delivered 20+ customised partner landing pages by translating Figma designs or interpreting brand guidelines into pixel-accurate, brand-compliant output. I also led React and Redux optimisations—implementing code splitting, memoisation, lazy loading, and render-cycle refactoring—to drive a 35% UI performance improvement across a high-traffic global platform.

I’m especially focused on design systems and engineering standards: I’ve designed reusable modular UI component libraries with React and MUI, established coding standards, and mentored 3+ interns and junior developers to become independent shippers within 3 months. I’m actively transitioning toward a Frontend Engineering Lead / Tech Lead role, bringing AI-assisted development workflows and strong architectural decision-making to build consistent, maintainable frontend systems.
