@matthewthomas3
I am a Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in React and TypeScript, optimizing user experiences and performance.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Senior Frontend Engineer with eight years of experience building robust, scalable web applications using React and TypeScript. I combine frontend expertise with cloud and CI/CD practices to deliver reliable, high-quality software.
I have led development of scalable frontend features and architected systems supporting hundreds of millions of API calls per day, while optimizing codebases to reduce load times by 30%. I built extensive component libraries that reduced implementation time by 40% and contributed reusable open-source libraries.
I collaborate closely with backend teams, product managers, and UX designers to design cohesive APIs and user-centered interfaces, and I mentor junior developers to raise team standards. I design testing frameworks with Jest and Cypress and use Docker and GitLab CI/CD for consistent, rapid deployments.
I focus on performance, accessibility, SEO, and maintainability, and I enjoy influencing architecture and product direction. I am motivated by opportunities to improve user satisfaction through measurable improvements and to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
