What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow toward Product Engineer or Tech Lead roles, building scalable digital products with strong UX and frontend architecture. I want a product-driven team where I can own interface decisions and deliver maintainable experiences.

I’m a Frontend Engineer with 4+ years of experience developing scalable web products using React and TypeScript. I specialize in building complex interfaces, dashboards, and user-centric experiences, and I take clear ownership of frontend modules end-to-end.

I lead frontend architecture decisions and help shape user experience flows and product structure—especially in startup environments where new products are built from scratch. I actively participate in UX design and product definition, translating requirements into interface architecture that stays maintainable as features grow.

Across my roles, I’ve integrated applications with REST APIs and worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS), collaborating closely with backend, business, and design teams to deliver solutions aligned with commercial goals. I build reusable component libraries (including with Material UI), implement authentication & session design, and improve interface reliability with frontend testing using Jest.
