What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead UI architecture, mentor teams, and ship features for high-traffic products—while integrating AI capabilities and maintaining strong code quality from design to production.

I’m a Senior full stack engineer with seven years of professional experience, and I love bridging user-centred thinking with robust engineering. For the past two years, I’ve served as a full-stack engineer and UI technical lead on high-traffic projects at MrBeast Industries, driving architecture decisions and mentoring the UI team.

I also integrate new AI solutions into products and ship features used by 200k+ users—taking ownership from design to production. I enforce code standards and QA processes, and I’ve delivered meaningful performance and cost improvements (including cutting Vercel hosting costs by roughly 60% by fixing Next.js anti-patterns and inefficient data-fetching).
