What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior front-end role building high-performance React/React Native products at a collaborative company that values developer experience, mentorship, and shipping polished, user-focused interfaces.

I am a senior front-end engineer with extensive experience building high-performance React and React Native applications, improving developer experience, and leading technical efforts across remote teams.

At my current role I led a large-surface refactor, improved app performance, automated deployment pipelines, and shipped a mobile product that grew to 10k+ daily active users.

I have built production products including a trading platform with multi-language support, a curated NFT marketplace, and a desktop app and browser extension using React and Electron, while consolidating reusable UI components and design systems.

I mentor colleagues, run engineering meetings and interviews, and prioritize scalable tooling, clear processes, and polished user experiences in every team I join.
