What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build performance-driven React/Next.js interfaces, improve design quality, and apply AI to create intuitive user experiences. I thrive in teams that value code reviews, mentorship, and fast, reliable shipping.

I’m a Frontend Engineer with 3+ years of experience building high-impact React and Next.js interfaces for production SaaS and e-commerce. I focus on shipping faster by tightening design and implementation details, including a track record of accelerating releases by up to 6 months.

I’ve reduced UI defects by 90% through systematic design updates, and I’ve improved platform responsiveness by 35% using modern ES6 patterns and deliberate UI fixes. At CUAnswers, I partnered with QA to drive legacy defect resolution and align changes to a modern company-wide design system.

In addition to frontend execution, I’ve strengthened the engineering feedback loop through code review and mentorship. As a Learning Specialist, I conducted reviews using GitHub and Slack and guided students through MERN-stack refactors to production-ready quality, reducing post-submission bugs.

Most recently, I’ve worked as a Freelance JavaScript Developer / AI Code Reviewer, evaluating AI-generated full-stack code and optimizing LLM output reliability. I’ve performed architectural reviews using Express.js and Next.js, and I refine API integrations and state-management patterns with Redux and GraphQL to improve scalability and performance.
