What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities in a tech-driven environment.

I am an experienced Front-End Software Developer with over 12 years of expertise in constructing and enhancing web applications. My proficiency spans across TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), React, Redux, and Styled-Components, alongside experience in Vue.js, Angular, and Svelte. I excel at collaborating with UX/UI designers to create user-friendly interfaces and ensure seamless integration with backend systems through RESTful APIs. My strong understanding of front-end performance optimization techniques and best practices has enabled me to deliver high-quality projects in large-scale applications, including healthcare solutions.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Full-Stack Web Consultant and Software Engineer, where I architected and developed dynamic websites and internal systems, implemented headless CMS solutions, and designed intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces. I am driven, detail-oriented, and committed to contributing to the success of fast-paced startup environments. My ability to manage both client-side interactions and server-side logic has been instrumental in delivering comprehensive full-stack solutions.
