What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, fast web applications where I can apply full-stack JavaScript experience, improve performance, and contribute to scalable products with strong engineering practices.

I've spent a decade building full-stack web applications, most recently enhancing React applications and a JavaScript library used for more than 500k aggregate monthly downloads. I led a React performance initiative that reduced time-to-interactive by 90%, while establishing test suites, CI, documentation, and automated security, licensing, and accessibility audits.

At Digita Plc, I designed scalable microservices, deployed containerized applications with Docker, and integrated real-time functionality using WebSockets. I also collaborated closely with UX/UI designers to turn design work into seamless application experiences.

Earlier, I built Vue.js and Laravel features at Scalo, redesigned eCommerce pages with Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, and developed custom PHP content management and order management systems at Essence IT. I enjoy creating reliable, fast web applications that improve customer acquisition, web traffic, and business outcomes.
