I’m a staff frontend architect delivering scalable, high-performance React platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Staff-level Frontend Engineer with 14+ years of experience delivering scalable and maintainable frontend solutions across fintech, investment banking, and travel. My core focus is React/Next.js, TypeScript, and frontend architecture—especially design systems, performance optimization, and micro-frontends.
As Vice President – Frontend Architecture & Engineering at Morgan Stanley, I owned the frontend architecture for the Strategic Portfolio Analytics platform. I defined and implemented enterprise-grade frontend architecture across web and mobile applications, led state management/data flow and API integration decisions, and drove performance strategy for complex analytical dashboards with high data density.
In my current role (Independent Frontend Architecture & Engineering), I design and refine modern frontend system architectures using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I work across server-driven UI strategies (including React Server Components), architect design systems and component libraries for multi-team adoption, and apply observability-driven performance engineering to keep products fast, reliable, and easy to evolve.
