I build scalable, responsive React applications and lead front-end teams from architecture to delivery.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, high-quality web applications, lead front-end technical direction, and collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams.

I've built Pepeta's betting platform UI from scratch in React, defining reusable architecture and delivering sportsbook, live betting, casino, and account modules.

Across Pastorsline, Powered by People, Smart Applications, and Ciphercom Technologies, I've redesigned core application interfaces, built maintainable React and Angular codebases, reduced technical debt, and collaborated closely with product, design, backend, and client teams. I've also led front-end research and development, code reviews, estimation, technical direction, and high-performing engineers.

At Toptal, I conducted live technical interviews, reviewed code submissions, and improved technical screening content and processes.
