What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for professional growth and impactful projects.

With over 12 years of experience as a software engineer specializing in front-end development, I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, scalable web applications. My expertise spans JavaScript, React.js, Vue.js, Angular.js, TypeScript, NodeJS, Laravel, C#, Python, and Java. I am passionate about web standards and staying updated with the latest technology trends, excelling at coordinating cross-functional teams in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments to ensure timely and successful project completion.

In my recent role as a Senior Full Stack Engineer at poktpool, I designed and built a scalable full-stack application using Next.js and TypeScript, enabling seamless staking and reward management for POKT tokens. I developed comprehensive Web3 solutions, optimized application performance, and implemented a dynamic blog system that synchronized updates from an external WordPress site. My previous experiences at ClassDojo and Shoclef further honed my skills in building responsive applications and enhancing user engagement through innovative features.
