What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior frontend or full‑stack role where I can lead teams, build customer‑facing products, optimize performance, and collaborate closely with product and clients for measurable impact.

I am a senior frontend engineer with extensive experience leading small teams and delivering customer‑facing web applications across e‑commerce, SaaS, and enterprise tooling.

At AKQA I led frontend developers to deliver the Panerai e‑commerce platform, designed new user interfaces, collaborated directly with clients, and optimized performance using AEM, JavaScript, and jQuery.

I have built customer dashboards, internal admin tooling, campaign and loyalty applications, and real‑time monitoring solutions at companies including Punchh, Decentro, Gamma Networks and others, using React, Vue, Angular, Python (Flask), MySQL and MongoDB.

I enjoy mentoring teams, winning internal hackathons for AI projects, and producing measurable product improvements that enhance engagement and operational visibility.
