What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer with over five years of experience, I specialize in designing and developing scalable, user-friendly applications for both web and mobile platforms. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in optimizing frontend architectures and mentoring teams to deliver high-quality products. I am passionate about solving complex problems and contributing to impactful projects that enhance user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have led various teams in revamping legacy codebases, integrating advanced technologies, and improving performance metrics significantly. For instance, at Kouture Konect, I transitioned a legacy codebase to a modern React and Vite setup, which reduced hot reload time from 8 seconds to just 0.2 seconds. My collaborative approach allows me to work effectively with non-technical stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights.

I am continuously seeking opportunities to innovate and improve user experiences through technology. My expertise in tools like React, Next.js, and TypeScript, combined with my commitment to quality and performance, positions me as a valuable asset to any team aiming to push the boundaries of frontend development.
