What I'm looking for

I seek senior front-end or full-stack roles where I can architect scalable UIs, mentor teams, and improve frontend performance and accessibility within collaborative, growth-minded companies.

I am a Senior Front-End Engineer with 10+ years building large-scale web applications, specializing in Vue.js, modern JavaScript (ES6+), and UI performance optimization. I have a proven track record of architecting maintainable front-end systems, creating reusable component libraries, and collaborating closely with design and backend teams.

I have led application development and engineering teams, defined visual and technical standards for clients, and implemented CI/CD and cloud-based workflows. I am passionate about continuous learning, mentoring developers, and evolving front-end practices to deliver accessible, responsive, and high-quality user experiences.
