What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead frontend development of user-centric products, drive architecture and quality, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow into broader technical leadership.

I am a Senior Frontend Engineer with 5+ years building scalable, responsive, and performant web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Material UI. I focus on reusable component libraries, Storybook documentation, performance optimization, and robust error monitoring.

I have led frontend efforts on customer-facing dashboards and partner apps, implemented micro-frontend architectures, custom NextAuth flows, WebSocket integrations, feature flag rollouts with LaunchDarkly, and Sentry-based monitoring to improve reliability and observability.

I combine technical depth with strong communication and leadership: managing stakeholder relationships to reduce blockers, driving medium-to-large projects to completion, advocating for technical debt reduction, and improving shared documentation and developer workflows.
