What I'm looking for

I want to lead frontend teams building production React/Next.js products—performance-first, fully tested, and WCAG-compliant—while partnering with AI/data to deliver trustworthy user experiences in async remote environments.

I’m a frontend engineer with 8+ years building production web applications with React, Next.js, and JavaScript/TypeScript. I’ve led frontend projects end-to-end—owning codebases across multiple client portals, mentoring engineers, and coordinating delivery through sprint planning, code reviews, and releases.

In my recent role, I improved Lighthouse performance scores from 45 to 87, raised test coverage from near zero to 60%+, and enforced WCAG 2.1 and ARIA standards—also cutting failed production deploys by ~40% with GitLab CI/CD. As CTO & Co-Founder at MountGPT.ai, I led technology decisions for an AI chat platform (500+ users in 3 months), deployed LibreChat on AWS with 99.5%+ uptime, and built subscription/billing flows integrated with local payment gateways.
