What I'm looking for

I seek senior front-end roles combining React/Angular development, security-aware engineering, team leadership, and opportunities for technical growth in Agile environments.

I am a detail-oriented computer science professional with deep experience in front-end engineering and a strong interest in IT and network security.

I have developed and deployed multiple Angular and React applications, led front-end teams, and promoted best UI practices for performance and responsiveness. I also have experience with CMS platforms such as Drupal and Adobe Experience Manager.

My academic background includes master's-level studies in Computer Science and in Security of Information and Communication Systems, and I developed a Java Spring Boot application combining static and dynamic vulnerability scanners as my dissertation.

I work effectively in Agile teams, contribute across DevOps tasks (Azure DevOps, deployments, pull requests), and seek roles that blend front-end engineering with security-minded development and continuous learning.
