Senior Frontend Engineer at Bucksense who improved booking-site Lighthouse performance from 31 to 86.
What I'm looking for
At Bucksense, I work on booking platforms for Abercrombie & Kent and Cox & Kings, building with React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I implemented a multi-tenant dashboard where guests and travel agents can manage bookings.
I improved performance across both sites through code splitting, lazy loading, responsive images, and server rendering. The Abercrombie & Kent homepage's Lighthouse score rose from 31 to 86.
At Cognyte, I built monitoring dashboards for large datasets and contributed shared components to the design system. I also developed micro-frontend features and a federated search experience, writing tests alongside features and helping ship eight production releases.
At Epanel, I led the frontend revamp of a global esports platform affiliated with Ubisoft, translating a new design direction into a responsive experience. I’m interested in solving complex problems, simplifying systems, and helping teams ship better software.
