What I'm looking for

I seek a senior frontend role where I can lead technical decisions, mentor engineers, improve web performance, and build reusable component systems within collaborative product teams.

I'm a Senior Front-End Engineer with 5+ years of experience, focused on scalable web applications and component-driven architecture. For the past few years I've been working at Travelstaytion, a travel-tech company, where I've led several key initiatives — from a zero-downtime Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration delivered in 6 months, to architecting a centralized SSO system supporting 4 different user types. I also built a shared UI library of 25 components adopted across 4 microservices, which reduced UI development time by ~50%. Prior to that, at Loggia, I worked on a white-label PMS platform serving 25+ clients and led a migration to Next.js that improved PageSpeed scores by 60%. What defines my approach is that I don't stop at implementation — I care about understanding the problem, proposing solutions, and taking full ownership from early design decisions all the way to production.
