What I'm looking for

I seek senior frontend roles building component-driven, user-focused web or hybrid apps, collaborating in Agile teams, and using modern JS frameworks and design systems.

I am a Frontend Developer with 9+ years of experience building modern, scalable, and user-focused web applications. My core expertise lies in JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue.js, and React, combined with strong UI/UX skills to deliver seamless digital experiences.

I have contributed to fintech platforms, AI-driven products, compliance management systems, and enterprise applications for clients across the US, Europe, and Asia. My work includes designing reusable UI component libraries, integrating complex APIs, and optimising performance for high-traffic platforms.

Skilled in tools such as Figma, TailwindCSS, Bootstrap, Quasar UI, and PrimeVue, I thrive in Agile environments and have proven success in remote-first, cross-cultural teams.

I hold a BSc in Computer Science and am passionate about modern frontend practices, component-driven development, and building products that balance design and performance.
