What I'm looking for

I seek senior Frontend/Fullstack/Software Engineer roles building global-scale products where I can lead architecture, optimize performance, and mentor engineers while improving developer efficiency.

I am a Senior JavaScript/TypeScript engineer with ~5 years' experience building scalable web applications and APIs using React, Next.js, Node.js, and GraphQL.

I have architected and scaled a Vision Platform now used in 20+ countries with ~300 active reports and built an event-driven Marketplace Connector (Node.js + GraphQL, Kafka, PostgreSQL). I reduced API calls by 50% through smart client-side caching and improved an OMC dashboard by cutting build size by 40% and reaching 92% test coverage.

I have recruited, mentored, and managed a frontend team of five, and I implement CI/CD, automated tests, feature flags, authentication, monitoring, and internationalization to improve developer efficiency and product reliability.

I deliver clean architecture, performance optimization, and team leadership for global-scale products and enjoy solving complex integration and UX challenges that drive measurable business impact.
