What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead and architect innovative frontend solutions in a collaborative and high-impact environment.

I am a vision-driven Frontend Engineering Lead with over 12 years of experience in architecting scalable, high-performance web applications. My career has been marked by a proven track record of leading domain-focused teams, optimizing system performance, and introducing architectural best practices such as Zustand and SSR/SSG. I thrive on collaborating across product, backend, and DevOps teams to achieve strategic tech outcomes that drive business success.

At Tapmad TV, I own the architecture and performance of multiple frontend domains, successfully managing high user concurrency and implementing modular strategies that have significantly improved page load times. My passion for developer experience and system design is complemented by my commitment to mentorship, where I actively guide mid-level developers and contribute to team expansion. I am now seeking Principal Frontend Engineer roles in high-impact environments globally, where I can leverage my skills to build and lead innovative frontend platforms.
