What I'm looking for

I am looking for tech-focused roles that emphasize innovation and growth.

With over 11 years of experience in frontend engineering, I have successfully led teams in fast-paced environments, managing the technical and delivery aspects of multiple product pipelines. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, particularly in enhancing code quality and performance. I thrive on challenges and have a proven track record of scaling teams through effective hiring and upskilling.

At Cert.ai, I spearheaded initiatives that significantly improved test coverage and performance metrics, transitioning key components to enhance user experience. My tenure at Synaptic saw me manage the frontend product lineup, driving a 4x growth in team size while implementing innovative solutions like monorepo architecture and shared data layers. My entrepreneurial spirit was evident as a co-founder at Froiden, where I played a pivotal role in optimizing developer productivity and increasing revenue.
