What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead frontend architecture and design systems, mentor engineers, and build high-performance, accessible user experiences in collaborative Agile teams.

I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications and distributed frontend systems. I focus on bridging complex technical requirements with user-centric product goals in Agile environments.

At SiteMinder I co-led a core Design System migration from Vue 2 to Vue 3 and led delivery of a centralized Notifications Platform, improving extensibility, performance, and developer velocity. I architect responsive interfaces using Vue.js, TypeScript, and GraphQL while optimizing data layers for complex UI states.

Previously at Freelancer.com I improved CI pipeline efficiency by profiling memory allocation and resolving leaks, modernized legacy modules during an AngularJS-to-Angular migration, and developed the core Design System to ensure UI parity across platforms. I consistently increased test coverage and introduced visual regression testing to improve reliability.

I mentor engineers across levels, write technical specifications, and integrate accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) into development lifecycles. I seek to deliver reusable, performant frontend systems that scale and provide inclusive user experiences.
