Micheal Olowookere
@michealolowookere
Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in performant, accessible React and Next.js interfaces.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Frontend Engineer focused on building performant, accessible user interfaces using React and Next.js. I translate high-fidelity Figma designs into pixel-perfect, reusable components and build scalable UI systems.
I've improved core web vitals (LCP, CLS, TTI) across products—lifting Lighthouse scores and reducing layout shifts to dramatically improve user experience. I prioritize accessibility (WCAG 2.1), semantic HTML, and robust focus management to ensure inclusive interfaces.
My work includes designing secure authentication systems for 100,000+ users, rebuilding financial dashboards to raise Lighthouse scores from 78 to 95, and creating component libraries with Storybook and design tokens for consistency. I contribute to open source by publishing reusable React components and utilities.
I enjoy mentoring and volunteering—coordinating tech initiatives and tutoring full-stack web development—while pursuing professional interests in front-end architecture, PWAs, and web performance optimization.
