What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead front-end development, collaborate cross-functionally, mentor engineers, and deliver well-tested, production-ready React/TypeScript applications.

I am a senior front-end engineer with over nine years of experience building web applications using JavaScript and TypeScript, primarily with React and frameworks like Next.js. I collaborate closely with back-end teams and designers to deliver high-quality, well-tested, production-ready code and have a track record of improving test coverage and delivery processes.

I have led UI development on greenfield products, mentored junior engineers, acted as a short-term tech lead to deliver successful releases, and built complex admin dashboards and real-time apps using websockets, webRTC, GraphQL, and REST. I take ownership of code quality, CI/CD, and developer workflows to ensure maintainable, scalable outcomes.
