I'm a senior front-end engineer with ~7 years of professional experience building production-grade user interfaces, component libraries, and responsive web applications. I deliver pixel-perfect UI using HTML5, CSS3 (Sass/PostCSS), and modern JavaScript/TypeScript with React and component-driven architectures. I focus on responsive design, mobile-first patterns, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility (WCAG/ARIA) to create inclusive user experiences. I've designed and shipped modular React components, integrated Redux/Context, React Router, and client-side performance optimizations like code-splitting and memoization. I'm comfortable with frontend build pipelines and CI via GitHub Actions. I collaborate well in remote environments, working with product managers, designers (Figma), backend engineers (REST/GraphQL), and QA to iterate quickly and maintain high quality. I’m seasoned in end-to-end and unit testing with Jest, React Testing Library, and Cypress. I translate stakeholder requirements into tasks, estimate work, and communicate trade-offs clearly in asynchronous teams. I optimize perceived performance by reducing bundle sizes, implementing critical CSS, and setting up service workers/PWA features for offline experiences. I mentor juniors, lead code reviews, and establish frontend best practices and style guides to reduce duplication and accelerate feature delivery. I enjoy improving developer experience by adding Storybook docs, design tokens, and reusable patterns that scale across products.
