Senior software engineer focused on scalable React/Next.js systems and business-impact delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building web and mobile applications, delivering from system design through deployment and production support. I specialize in scalable architecture, maintainable systems, and measurable business impact.
In recent work, I’ve led and shipped AI-driven and customer-facing products—building an AI-powered chatbot using the OpenAI API for 24/7 property tax self-service, and improving performance by cutting frontend load time from 11s to 1s with Next.js optimizations. I also drive platform migrations and growth, including moving a React platform to Next.js for 100,000+ monthly users and reaching top 5 search rankings.
Across projects, I take ownership of the full lifecycle: designing REST APIs, implementing testing with Jest and React Testing Library, and setting up DevOps with Docker and CI/CD on GitHub Actions. I’m collaborative and proactive—defining frontend architecture, API contracts, and data flow strategies, and mentoring teams to keep code quality high.
