ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Lead Frontend Engineer with 15 years of web development experience, focused on architecting scalable, high-performance front ends using React, Vue (2 & 3), TypeScript and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). I have led large-scale migrations and Greenfield projects, improved performance and reduced infrastructure costs through pragmatic optimization and strong cross-functional collaboration.
I combine hands-on coding with strategic leadership—defining architectures, establishing coding standards, mentoring teams, and delivering measurable outcomes like boosting PDF generation throughput, reducing AWS costs, and improving delivery velocity. I thrive in collaborative, product-driven environments bridging design, backend and DevOps to build accessible, maintainable applications at enterprise scale.
