What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead product-minded frontend initiatives, ship early with real usage and metrics, and own technical decisions in scalable React/JavaScript platforms—collaborating tightly with Product and Design.

I’m a product-minded software engineer and Tech Lead with 10+ years building user-facing products and frontend platforms across the JavaScript and React ecosystem. At Pleo, I own product problems end-to-end in the activation domain—partnering with Product and Design to define scope, navigate trade-offs, and ship early—iterating with metrics to drive ~16% higher feature adoption and faster learning cycles.

I’ve shaped technical decisions at scale in complex frontend platforms, including a TurboRepo monorepo with 70+ packages and 20+ teams, improving standards and performance through evolving data-loading patterns. I also bring hands-on depth from prior work like rebuilding a visualization system with D3 and Visx (improving large-dataset loading by ~20%), and from my earlier CTO & Co-Founder experience building and evolving a Stencil/Ionic PWA and React/Vite backoffice—always pairing technical ownership with real customer and usage feedback.
