What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role focused on front-end or full-stack product development at a collaborative company that values testing, clean code, design collaboration, and measurable user impact.

I am a front-end software developer with solid experience building greenfield applications and production-grade user interfaces. I lead end-to-end frontend work, shipping features like secure authentication, KYC forms, document uploads, payments, and dynamic dashboards.

At my current role I introduced Redux Toolkit for scalable state management, established automated testing practices, and enforced linters and formatters to improve code quality and reliability. I actively participate in code reviews and collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers.

My background includes building full-stack projects—deploying web apps integrated with CMS, APIs, analytics, and real-time features—and developing backend APIs and deployment pipelines when needed. I prioritize usability, accessibility, and robust frontend-backend integration.

I hold formal training in full-stack development and UX design certifications, and I’m motivated to join teams that value clean code, test coverage, and product-driven development to deliver measurable user impact.
