What I'm looking for
As a Senior React Developer with over 6 years of experience, I specialize in building and optimizing highly responsive web applications. My proficiency in developing single-page applications (SPAs) using React.js, Redux, JavaScript (ES6+), and TypeScript has allowed me to deliver scalable and performance-optimized solutions. I take pride in collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance workflow and usability, ultimately driving significant improvements in conversion rates and page performance.
Throughout my career, I have successfully architected and maintained modern JAMstack SPAs, leveraging technologies such as Gatsby, GraphQL, and Sanity CMS. My experience includes optimizing legacy code and implementing robust APIs to support custom CRM solutions. I am passionate about creating intuitive user interfaces and have a strong background in managing projects using tools like JIRA and ClickUp to ensure timely delivery and quality outcomes.
