What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for mentorship and professional growth.

As a Senior Front End Engineer with extensive experience in developing high-performance web applications, I have a proven track record of creating scalable UI solutions that enhance user experience. At Digital Turbine, I led the development of an organization-wide platform UI kit using Typescript and Vue, streamlining the quality of user interfaces across teams. My collaborative approach has empowered clients to design mobile startup wizards, effectively managing app distribution for over 20 million Android devices.

Previously, I spearheaded the development of a component library at Cendyn, which featured over 70 reusable components, significantly improving code maintainability. My role as tech lead allowed me to mentor junior developers while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver powerful applications for targeted marketing campaigns. My journey in frontend development has been marked by a commitment to best practices, code quality, and continuous improvement.
