What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a solution-driven Lead Engineer with over 11 years of experience in architecting scalable, performant, and responsive web applications. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in leading product engineering teams and collaborating with enterprise clients to modernize legacy systems. Currently, I lead a team at Quintype, where I am spearheading a product modernization initiative that involves migrating applications from React to Next.js, significantly improving mobile performance.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered a POC targeting mobile traffic optimization, achieving Core Web Vitals benchmarks. My role as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) between engineering teams and clients has honed my skills in requirement gathering, resolving technical gaps, and ensuring timely deliveries. I am passionate about exploring AI-based tooling to automate UI component generation, which has enhanced our development speed and consistency.

In previous roles, I have contributed to core product development, mentored junior developers, and facilitated cross-team initiatives for consistent front-end practices. My expertise spans across various technologies including ReactJS, Next.js, and Ruby on Rails, and I am committed to fostering a collaborative and innovative engineering culture.
