What I'm looking for

I seek frontend roles where I can lead design systems, improve performance and DX, mentor engineers, and build scalable, accessible React products.

I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with 4+ years building enterprise-scale applications focused on performance, accessibility, and maintainability.

I lead frontend initiatives including AI-driven features, design systems, and tooling improvements, and I have reduced load times and bundle sizes while improving core web vitals.

I drive developer experience by executing monorepo migrations, optimizing CI/CD, automating accessibility checks, and creating reusable component libraries and automation scripts.

I mentor small teams, contribute to product and technical roadmaps, publish open-source libraries (npm), and continually deliver scalable, high-impact solutions.
