What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote-friendly roles where I can lead frontend development, mentor engineers, build scalable React/React Native products, and improve UX and performance.

I am a Senior Frontend Developer with extensive experience building web and mobile products using React, React Native, and TypeScript. Over several years I architected core features, refactored legacy codebases, and improved performance and user experience across marketplaces, profiles, and in-app flows.

I have led and mentored frontend teams at startups and larger organizations, contributed to agile projects, and owned end-to-end feature delivery from design to production. Notable work includes architecting a mobile-first loan processing client, crafting the initial mobile crafting flow at Kolex, and building white-label exchange dashboards.

I prioritize code quality, mentorship, and practical application of modern frontend patterns (React Query, Redux, Tailwind CSS, GraphQL). I thrive in remote and hybrid environments where I can drive product impact, stabilize apps, and grow engineering teams.
