What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me technically and fosters collaboration, with opportunities for mentorship and professional growth.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer with extensive experience in building scalable web applications, I have led significant projects at industry giants like Netflix and Amazon. My journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the University of Houston, where I developed a strong foundation in software engineering principles. Since then, I have honed my skills in frontend technologies, particularly React, Next.js, and TypeScript, to create user-centric solutions that drive engagement and efficiency.

At Netflix, I spearheaded the development of an internal Asset Management Platform, leveraging modern frameworks and tools to optimize performance and enhance user experience. My initiatives resulted in achieving over 90% frontend code coverage and significantly reducing deployment times through robust CI/CD pipelines. I take pride in mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of technical excellence, ensuring that my teams are equipped to tackle complex challenges with confidence.

Prior to Netflix, I contributed to Amazon's Transportation Management System, where I designed scalable applications that improved operational efficiency by 22%. My ability to collaborate across teams and translate technical roadmaps into actionable strategies has been instrumental in driving project success. I am passionate about continuous learning and am always eager to embrace new technologies that can enhance my work and the experiences of users.
