What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in frontend and backend development to create impactful solutions.

I'm a Senior Frontend Developer with over four years of experience in building and maintaining scalable web applications. My expertise lies in modern frontend technologies such as React, React Native, TypeScript, and Next.js, complemented by backend development skills using Node.js and Express. I thrive in fast-paced environments, contributing to UI/UX design, API development, and deployment on AWS.

Throughout my career, I've achieved significant milestones, including migrating platforms to enhance performance and developing custom solutions that support thousands of concurrent users. My focus on clean code and thoughtful architecture ensures that I deliver high-quality products that solve real-world problems. I enjoy collaborating with teams to drive user engagement and improve application performance.
