What I'm looking for

I want to lead end-to-end product delivery, owning architecture across APIs, data, and performance-focused React/Next.js frontends. I’m looking for teams where strong engineering practices, testing, and measurable results matter.

I’m a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 8+ years of production experience, starting as a frontend specialist and growing into end-to-end product delivery. I focus on shipping complete features—from schema and APIs to high-performance UI—while integrating third-party services smoothly.

Currently, I lead full-stack development for Chemist Warehouse, owning architecture decisions across Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. I architected a Node.js BFF layer to orchestrate Shopify Storefront API, search providers, and CMS data—reducing client-side payload by 60% and cutting Time-to-Interactive by 1.8s.

Previously at xiQ Inc., I architected a scalable React frontend for an enterprise sales-intelligence SaaS used inside Fortune 500 accounts. I helped design and ship 15+ product features, improved performance by 40%, and reduced load times by 50%.

I’m especially strong in API design and database architecture with Node.js, Supabase, and PostgreSQL, paired with SSR/ISR frontend performance work in Next.js and React. I also build reliable systems using Jest, React Testing Library, and Supertest to achieve 95% coverage and reduce production regressions.
