What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, product-focused engineering role using React/TypeScript where I can improve UX, optimize performance, and contribute to robust monitoring and testing practices.

I am a Front End Engineer with five years of experience building React and TypeScript applications that improve user experience and drive revenue. I have led UI/UX redesigns and implemented complex components that reduced checkout completion time by 15% and improved conversion rates.

I've migrated legacy platforms to modern stacks, rebuilt core payment systems with React/Next.js, and integrated high-profile airline platforms and complex REST APIs to enable reliable, low-latency transactions. I emphasize production monitoring, robust testing, and performance optimization—using tools like Sentry, Datadog, Jest, and Cypress—to maintain stability and reduce regressions.

I focus on clean architecture and modular component patterns that decouple UI logic from data sources, improving testability and rendering efficiency. I collaborate closely with backend, product, and design teams to deliver end-to-end features and maintain design systems that accelerate development.
