Frontend engineer building scalable React/Next.js and React Native products.
Russian FederationWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Frontend Engineer with 4+ years of commercial experience building production web and mobile applications. I specialize in the React, Next.js, and TypeScript ecosystem, and I enjoy owning projects end-to-end—from frontend architecture to production release prep.
I’ve shipped a React Native application from scratch, including architecture design, core user flows, and publishing to the App Store and Google Play. On the web side, I lead large-scale refactors of legacy code, introduce modular approaches and reusable components, and optimize performance across load speed and bundle structure.
I also bring strong collaboration between frontend and backend, with experience in Node.js and building frontend-backend integration. From improving build/release processes with Docker to strengthening testing for more stable releases, my focus is delivering reliable, scalable user experiences.
