What I'm looking for

I am aiming for a senior role centered on designing resilient, scalable distributed systems and high-throughput microservice architectures. I want to leverage my background in event-driven processing, asynchronous message queues, and low-latency WebSocket applications to build robust infrastructure that scales seamlessly under heavy user load.

I’m a TypeScript & React engineer with 12+ years of experience architecting scalable and performant UIs, with prior Node.js and PHP experience. I’ve helped lead a major transition from a monolith to micro-frontends, enabling independent deployments that were at least 3 times faster for 10+ autonomous teams.

I focus on frontend best practices that reduce operational pain: I established standards, coding conventions, linters, and CI/CD pipelines that cut production bug reports by approximately 30%. I also build highly interactive products—like a drag-and-drop report builder with complex client-side state management and a content calendar app for personalized marketing campaigns.

I enjoy going beyond implementation by standardizing architecture with shared design systems to streamline the development lifecycle. I also share my knowledge with the developer community through my two YouTube channels, and I’ve built backend-facing RESTful APIs and services such as an image processing web service and e-commerce storefront integrations.
