Frontend developer building React and .NET web apps with AI-enabled workflows and clean UI systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a frontend developer who ships reliable, maintainable user experiences—building component-driven systems in React while partnering closely with designers to align UI with the design system and user goals.
Most recently, I worked in a multi-agent AI setup (triage, implementation planner, and development agents), using controlled prompt loops and human-in-the-loop validation to drive issues from intake to resolution. I also integrated AI-driven workflows across frontend and backend services, improving cross-layer cohesion, and introduced the container/presenter pattern to strengthen maintainability and separation of concerns.
Across client work, I’ve built and evolved web apps with JavaScript, React, Svelte, and Umbraco, including migrating legacy components to newer Umbraco versions for better performance. I’ve implemented backend integration using C#, delivered secure payment functionality with the WindRiver payment gateway, and standardized UI through Storybook-powered component libraries.
My track record includes leading frontend modules with Test-Driven Development and Continuous Delivery practices, maintaining unit and integration tests with 100% code coverage using Jest, and reducing technical debt through refactoring and modularization. I’ve also taught frontend development to 70 career shifters with a 95% placement rate, reinforcing my belief in clear communication, strong fundamentals, and measurable outcomes.
