@romaniamaletdinov
Senior Frontend Engineer who leads performance-focused, scalable web systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer and Competence Lead with 15+ years across BigTech and startups, focused on building high-load, mobile-first web applications that stay fast under pressure. I specialize in front-end architecture at scale, WebView/superapp integration, and shipping product improvements through measurable performance gains.
At Yandex, I managed technical roadmaps and development strategies for 3 frontend teams, supporting high-volume food delivery services and multi-platform UI needs. I engineered Backend-Driven UI (BDUI) capabilities—like complex pagination, virtualization, state caching, filtering, and action sequencing—while unifying mobile and desktop architecture.
I’ve repeatedly pushed runtime and loading performance forward using deep profiling, RUM analysis, and component rewrites. I optimized delivery of maps and interactive experiences (including parallel query approaches and a custom JS sheet using native CSS Scroll Snap), reduced bundle sizes via webpack tuning and lazy-loading, and improved WebView load times through static preloading and caching.
I also drive stability and continuous excellence through process ownership—code review ownership, on-duty rotations, and a Zero Bug Policy. When needed, I modernize large codebases (e.g., MST to MobX) and integrate AI-driven workflows to accelerate product delivery.
