What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative team-focused role building user-centric web applications, with opportunities to lead frontend projects, work on SaaS products, and grow technically.

I am a frontend developer passionate about building responsive web applications, contributing to open-source, and crafting polished user experiences using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. I have led cross-functional teams, established design systems, integrated APIs and payments, and shipped SaaS products while collaborating closely with backend engineers.

My background includes Java development (Android and Spring Boot) and experience with databases, authentication, and payment integrations. I prioritize clean architecture, reusable UI components, and strong UX, and I seek roles where I can continue to grow technically and lead impactful frontend projects.
