What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my skills.

With over 10 years of experience as a Front-end Engineer, I specialize in building fast, scalable, and accessible web applications using modern technologies like React, Next, and TypeScript. My journey has been driven by a passion for code quality and architecture, inspired by influential literature such as 'Clean Code' and 'The Pragmatic Programmer'. I thrive on analyzing pain points and simplifying workflows to deliver thoughtful UI solutions that help businesses grow.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built and optimized design systems from scratch, ensuring consistency across products. My full-stack exposure, including Node.js and PHP, allows me to collaborate effectively across the stack and think holistically about project architecture. I am particularly proud of my contributions to projects that have significantly improved user experience and accessibility, achieving high performance and usability scores.
