What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can drive performance wins (CWV, bundles), build reusable components, and raise code quality through thoughtful reviews and Agile delivery, all while partnering closely with product, QA, and marketing to ship reliable, accessible web experiences.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer focused on building dynamic front-end experiences and reliable back-end systems. I’ve led migrations from AngularJS to Vue 3, created reusable component libraries, and consistently applied accessibility, progressive enhancement, and responsive design to improve real user outcomes.

My work is anchored in performance engineering, improving Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) with Lighthouse audits, and reducing non-JS page weight while raising page performance scores from 40 to over 90. I thrive in Agile environments, collaborate cross-functionally (engineering, marketing, SEO, QA, BA), and mentor developers through code reviews and documentation using tools like Storybook and Git.
