What I'm looking for

I seek front-end or full-stack roles focused on React/Next.js, accessibility, performance, and cross-functional collaboration in teams that value maintainable, scalable UIs and mentoring opportunities.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Developer with 10+ years building scalable web applications using React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and Java. I focus on delivering pixel-perfect, production-ready UI components and performance-optimized front-end architectures for enterprise applications.

I have implemented SEO-friendly SSR/SSG flows in Next.js, built reusable UI libraries and Storybook component collections, and integrated front ends with REST/GraphQL APIs across distributed systems. I have improved performance and accessibility across multiple domains including healthcare, retail, energy trading, and government.

My hands-on experience includes converting Figma design systems into accessible React components, implementing testing suites (Jest, React Testing Library), optimizing rendering with memoization and lazy loading, and supporting Sitecore-driven integrations. I also develop and maintain backend APIs using Node.js and Java (Spring Boot) and work with relational databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL.

I collaborate closely with designers, product owners, and cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to front-end architecture and CI/CD pipelines on AWS/Azure/GCP. I am detail-oriented, accessibility-focused, and committed to delivering maintainable, high-performance UI solutions.
