What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role where I can lead frontend/product delivery end-to-end, modernize stacks, and turn slow workflows into fast, reliable releases—prioritizing performance, accessibility, and close collaboration with design and engineering.

I’m a lead frontend and product engineer with 20+ years delivering both large enterprise systems and greenfield products across React, Angular, and Node.js. I lead teams end-to-end—owning product roadmaps, scoping requirements, and shipping features—while specializing in untangling build tooling and slow workflows (ESbuild migrations, Webpack rescues, and AI-assisted Angular upgrades).

I focus on making teams faster and products sharper: I’ve migrated major codebases to ESbuild, improved build speed and hot-reload responsiveness, and increased unit test coverage from single digits to ~35% by testing core components. I also build privacy-first, accessibility-minded user experiences—favoring WCAG-aligned approaches—and bring full-stack breadth through GraphQL APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud services. Whether it’s tightening release quality as a frontend technical lead/product owner or resolving migration blockers under real deadlines, I bring structured execution, clear collaboration, and a bias toward measurable performance gains.
