At Bali.Love, I architected and optimized Next.js and React dashboards for 5,000+ users. I also integrated more than 30 third-party APIs, including Stripe, Google Calendar, and OpenAI.

I spearheaded a frontend migration to Next.js and TanStack Query, accelerating page loads by 15%. The work also improved the user experience.

At BizFocused, I developed data-driven CRM interfaces that let users self-serve reports, reducing engineering dependency by 15 hours per week. I also improved application performance, cutting load times by 1.5 seconds.

Across my roles at Darkknight Designs and Teknospur, I maintained and enhanced client applications, shipped new features, and developed responsive pages. I’ve also built projects including a destination wedding platform, a project management SaaS, and a subscription management mobile app.
