What I'm looking for

I seek a role building user-focused web and mobile apps with React/React Native, collaborating cross-functionally, shipping fast, and growing into engineering leadership.

I am a senior frontend developer focused on building performant web and mobile experiences with React, React Native, Next.js and modern frontend tooling. I have led teams and shipped high-impact projects—delivering multi-project solutions that served millions, automating workflows that reduced processing time by 95%, and building cross-platform apps that increased engagement.

I work closely with product and backend teams to translate Figma designs into reusable components, implement complex integrations (APIs, Socket.IO, Firebase, Strapi), and optimize UX and performance. I bring a pragmatic, delivery-driven approach, having been promoted to lead roles and consistently shipped major features quickly while aligning work with business goals.
