What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a product-focused team where I can own frontend architecture—micro-frontends, design systems, and API integration—while partnering with backend for auth and stability. I thrive on performance, maintainability, and long-term scalable UX.

I’m a Frontend Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience building large-scale web applications and maintaining modern frontend architectures. I focus on performance, maintainability, and scalable solutions, especially where frontend teams must deliver reliable UX on top of complex business systems.

Across product companies in fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS, I’ve worked closely with backend teams on APIs, authentication systems, and end-to-end integration. In long-term projects, I help translate platform requirements into frontend architecture choices that keep teams moving without sacrificing quality.
