What I'm looking for
I’m a Middle Front-End Engineer with 2 years of commercial experience in React and TypeScript, focused on clean solutions and business value. I specialize in modular architecture and UI optimization for complex environments, ensuring my work stays pixel-perfect and production-ready.
At SoftServe, I architected and maintained a scalable web application based on Microfrontends with 20+ independent modules, boosting rendering performance by 25%. I also led scalable state management with Redux, reducing boilerplate by 30% and improving UI predictability across 3+ core modules.
I scaled automated testing with Jest and Playwright to reach 85%+ code coverage, cutting post-release UI regressions by an estimated 20%. I maintained quality through 50+ technical code reviews and reduced post-release UI-related bugs by an estimated 10%, while using CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/Docker) to reduce manual deployment time by 40% and increase release frequency.
I enjoy bridging design and engineering—leveraging a strong understanding of UI/UX and Figma to deliver the right experience. I also executed an incremental migration from legacy Angular to a React-based Microfrontend architecture with zero downtime for end-users, and owned end-to-end side projects like a real-time collaborative WebApp Creator.
