What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I own features end-to-end—design discussions, React/TypeScript implementation, performance tuning, testing, and deployments—while modernizing legacy systems into scalable web platforms.

I’m a Senior Full-Stack Developer (front-end heavy) with 10+ years delivering and modernizing scalable web applications across FinTech, EdTech, eCommerce, and Enterprise domains. I’m comfortable owning features end-to-end—from API integration and system design discussions to frontend implementation, performance optimization, and deployment workflows.

My core strength is modern React and TypeScript architecture. I’ve worked deeply with Redux (Toolkit, Saga), Context API, and component-driven development, building reusable UI patterns and maintaining high code quality through thorough refactoring and testing.

Across recent roles, I’ve migrated legacy systems to modern stacks—like moving from JavaScript/React to TypeScript/Next.js, and from Symfony/Twig to modern React. I’ve also built and extended CMS-driven systems (Sanity Studio) and supported backend components using Go (Gin) and Firebase.

I thrive in distributed, cross-functional teams where I can lead improvements, guide architecture decisions, and ship production-ready frontend experiences. I’m also excited about where the platform goes next—mobile, GraphQL, and emerging areas like Blockchain/DeFi and AI—while staying grounded in strong engineering fundamentals.
