United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior React Developer with over 12 years of deep, hands-on experience in building scalable and maintainable applications. My journey began with React in its early days, and I have since mastered hooks, Redux Toolkit, and Context API. Currently, I lead the architecture and development of React applications using Next.js and Handlebars, delivering high-performance frontends that users enjoy.
Throughout my career, I have built and maintained a reusable, accessible component library that has significantly reduced development time and UI inconsistencies. My backend experience includes developing Node.js APIs with Express and MongoDB, managing authentication flows, and optimizing app load times through various performance enhancements. I am passionate about championing best practices for testing and CI/CD pipelines, which have increased release stability and reduced bugs.
As a proud U.S. citizen, I thrive in Agile environments and am fully authorized to work and collaborate seamlessly across teams. I am ready to contribute immediately and drive quality software delivery in my next role.
