What I'm looking for

I am seeking a frontend or product-focused engineering role at a product-driven company where I can lead frontend efforts, improve performance, and build user-centric, accessible features while contributing to technical direction.

I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with 3.5 years of experience building complex, user-facing React applications at product-based startups, owning product areas end-to-end and leading small frontend teams.

I have delivered measurable performance improvements (60% faster LCP, 700KB bundle reductions), built multi-step flows, real-time systems, payment integrations with Stripe, and productionized AI-powered features that cut feed creation time by 90%.

I contribute to open source, prioritize accessibility and maintainability, and enjoy shipping cross-functional features—from background jobs and admin UIs to file previewers and rich-text editors—that improve user experience and developer efficiency.
