ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with a proven track record of building design systems that support over 20 engineers and significantly reduce bug rates. At IntelligenceBank, I led the implementation of a design system that cut feature development time by 40%, showcasing my expertise in React and TypeScript architecture. My ability to rescue failing projects is exemplified by my work fixing Daily Wire's live chat crash during peak traffic, where I optimized performance to handle over 11,000 concurrent users.
Throughout my career, I have focused on micro-frontend migrations and component libraries that accelerate feature delivery. I have driven TypeScript adoption across multiple projects, achieving a remarkable 73% reduction in bugs per release cycle. My commitment to performance optimization and accessibility has improved customer satisfaction and ensured compliance with WCAG standards. I take pride in mentoring engineers, with a 100% promotion rate within my teams, and sharing knowledge through tech talks that inspire others in the field.
