What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead frontend (React/Next.js) work where I can improve performance, ship production-ready features, and build practical AI automation. I enjoy mentoring teams and also working independently—remote, hybrid, or on-site.

I’m a frontend engineer with 7 years of hands-on experience. I started as a PHP developer doing freelance work, and gradually moved into building full product platforms.

I’ve shipped major systems like an LMS used by 10,000+ students, an enterprise ESG reporting tool, and e-commerce systems from scratch. Most recently, I built an AI agent for automated ESG data extraction using OCR and LLM-based emission categorisation.

In my current role, I lead the frontend of the Sustainext ESG Reporting Platform. I moved the app to Next.js 14 App Router with proper SSR and dynamic routing, lifted Lighthouse from 62 to 91, and cut page load time by 40% through lazy loading, code-splitting, and data fetching fixes.

I write clean code, care about how things perform in production, and I’m comfortable leading a small team or working independently. I review code for a team of 4, mentor junior developers, and build shared component libraries that keep the codebase maintainable.
