What I'm looking for

I am an expert in the React ecosystem, performance optimization, and technical mentorship, with a proven record of selecting stacks (Vite, Next.js), improving test coverage, and scaling teams through knowledge sharing and cross-functional collaboration. I deliver HIPAA-compliant solutions, reduce load times, and create reusable component libraries that are adopted across organizations.
