Frontend engineer shipping responsive React/Next.js apps with performance-focused UX.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Frontend Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing and shipping responsive, scalable single-page applications using ReactJS and Next.js. I’ve worked remotely across two simultaneous roles, delivering production-ready interfaces for SaaS, EdTech, and e-commerce teams.
At Kakeibo Inc., I spearheaded the frontend build of CleanStudio, an AI-powered data platform, using component-based architecture to reduce code duplication and accelerate feature delivery. I wired ReactJS UIs to backend REST APIs and WebSocket connections to enable real-time updates across core analytics dashboards, partnering closely with design and product to translate Figma requirements into polished UI/UX.
Previously at EggSeed LLC, I owned the Pulse landing pages and drove a 20% surge in user engagement through responsive, conversion-focused UI with ReactJS and Styled Components. I also built reusable component libraries that cut development timelines by 25%, improved page load times by 15%, reduced post-release bug reports by 40%, and supported cross-functional delivery across multiple projects while mentoring junior developers.
