What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead frontend/UI engineering in React/Next.js teams, ship high-impact products, and deepen AI integration—building streaming LLM experiences and using workflow automation with strong ownership and cross-functional collaboration.

I’m a Lead UI Developer/Frontend Engineer with 11+ years of experience delivering high-performance web applications, browser extensions, and scalable UI systems. I build with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and I’m known for architecting reusable component libraries that improve UI consistency and speed up feature delivery.

Right now, I’m actively expanding into AI integration—embedding LLM-powered features into product UIs using the OpenAI API and the Vercel AI SDK, including streaming AI responses. I also bring practical automation experience through production n8n workflow automation, and I use prompt engineering alongside RAG concepts and agentic workflow design to move from ideas to working interfaces.

I’ve led frontend teams for 5+ years, owning architecture decisions, code reviews, mentorship, and CI/CD delivery standards. I’ve shipped UI products for global brands and built production landing pages and large-scale corporate applications—collaborating closely with backend engineers, designers (Figma/Zeplin), and stakeholders to translate requirements into polished, reliable experiences.
