What I'm looking for

I want to build modular, scalable frontend systems with React and Next.js—focused on SSR/hybrid rendering, BFF integration, and strong Web Vitals/SEO results. I’m at my best optimizing bundle size, UI latency, and reliability with tests and TypeScript.

I’m a Frontend Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing scalable applications with React and Next.js. I focus on SSR, hybrid rendering, BFF architecture, performance optimization, and SEO improvements—always with an eye on measurable user impact.

At Nineleaps, I architected frontend using Next.js hybrid rendering (SSR + CSR), cutting client-side re-rendering by 25% and improving SEO performance to drive a 15% increase in organic traffic. I also designed and integrated a BFF layer to aggregate microservice APIs, reducing over-fetching by 30% and improving API response consistency.

I reduced bundle size by 28% through code splitting, tree shaking, and dynamic imports—improving initial page load time by 30%. By optimizing Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FCP) through render optimization and hydration control, I increased the Lighthouse performance score from 68 to 86.

I build high-scale UI systems that stay fast under real data pressure. I developed a dashboard architecture handling 10K+ records using memoization and virtualization (reducing UI latency by 35%), created reusable component libraries and modular feature-based architecture (improving development efficiency by 20%), and strengthened reliability with strict TypeScript typing—reducing production UI defects by 18%.
