Full Stack Engineer specializing in React/Next.js performance, reliability, and observability for large-scale web apps.
What I'm looking for
I build large-scale, high-traffic web applications with a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, observability, and clean architecture. I’m hands-on across the stack with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and AWS—supported by solid computer science fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and scalable web systems.
At Squareboat (Senior Frontend Engineer, Jan 2025–Present), I architected a config-driven frontend platform with reusable component libraries and shared design-system patterns, enabling scalable multi-brand experiences and reducing feature delivery time by 40%. I’ve led frontend quality across a pnpm monorepo—driving code reviews, refactoring, performance tuning, and React patterns that are testable and aligned with web security—while also improving stability through component-level testing with Jest and React Testing Library.
Previously at Techhelper Technologies (Software Developer, Apr 2022–Jun 2024), I developed and maintained high-traffic customer-facing SaaS interfaces using Next.js, React, Express, and TypeScript, and reduced regression bugs by 40% through snapshot and integration testing with Jest and Enzyme. I also strengthened frontend observability using performance tooling and error monitoring (e.g., Sentry) to track UX metrics like LCP and TTFB, and I continue contributing as an open-source contributor/Visiting Scientist with data visualization dashboards using React, D3.js, TypeScript, and AWS.
