## About

```text
At Forto Logistics, I lead frontend development for a complex customer-facing React application. I build scalable React and TypeScript solutions with a focus on performance and maintainability.

I’ve improved engineering quality and developer experience through reusable patterns, testing, code reviews, and AI-assisted development.

At Templafy, I built the frontend architecture for the Engage product unit, defining shared patterns, reusable components, and engineering standards. I also contributed to frontend platform evolution, including design-system adoption and experiments with independently deployable frontend modules.

Earlier, I built a B2B marketplace at Progression Group and developed marketplace and CRM solutions at Pharmaspace. At FactoryMarket, I built and maintained React/Redux SPAs, and at Actis Wunderman (WPP Group), I worked on frontend delivery for FIFA 2018, BMW Russia, and nationwide digital campaigns.
