What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my skills.

I am a Senior Full Stack Developer with over 9 years of experience in building dynamic, responsive, and high-performance web applications. My expertise lies in front-end architecture and component-based development, utilizing frameworks such as React.js, Vue.js, and AngularJS. I have a proven track record of leading front-end teams, mentoring junior developers, and collaborating cross-functionally with designers, backend engineers, and product managers to deliver robust user interfaces.

Throughout my career, I have successfully migrated legacy codebases to modern stacks, integrated RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and optimized rendering performance. My passion for user experience and code quality drives me to leverage the latest front-end technologies, including Next.js, Nuxt.js, and Tailwind CSS. I take pride in maintaining clean, maintainable codebases while enhancing user engagement through innovative solutions.
