Architected and delivered a Next.js + React multi-app frontend ecosystem with shared design system packages in a monorepo, improving cross-app reuse by ~40% and reducing duplicate UI work across teams. Integrated Sanity CMS to enable faster publishing workflows and reduce content turnaround by ~30%. Implemented SSR and edge-friendly routing/caching strategies to cut p95 page load times by ~35% and boost SEO indexing for high-traffic pages. Built secure content delivery and API layers using Node.js + TypeScript with OAuth 2.0/OIDC and JWT validation, tightening access controls for sensitive content and reducing auth-related incidents by ~25%. Established CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Terraform to standardize preview environments and production releases on AWS (S3/CloudFront/Lambda), reducing deployment time from hours to ~15 minutes with reliable rollbacks. Improved observability with OpenTelemetry, Datadog, and Sentry dashboards, reducing MTTR by ~40% and accelerating incident triage.

Built and maintained enterprise web applications using Next.js and React, focusing on SSR, routing strategy, and performance tuning to improve p95 render times by ~30% under peak traffic. Designed reusable UI primitives and shared component libraries in a monorepo (TypeScript + React), increasing consistency across applications and reducing new feature build time by ~25%. Integrated Sanity CMS with structured schemas and GROQ queries, enabling non-engineers to publish updates safely with validation and preview workflows. Developed backend-for-frontend services in Node.js (TypeScript) exposing REST endpoints and integrating SOAP/REST upstreams with robust retries, idempotency, and error handling to reduce integration failures by ~35%. Hardened security posture with OAuth 2.0/OIDC, JWT validation, and CSP headers in Next.js, reducing security findings and improving audit readiness for regulated data handling. Automated build/test/deploy pipelines using GitHub Actions, Docker, and Terrafo

Delivered customer-facing web experiences using React and early Next.js patterns, improving perceived performance via code-splitting and caching strategies and reducing p95 load time by ~20%. Built and integrated Node.js (TypeScript) services exposing REST APIs and consuming SOAP-based integrations, improving resilience with timeouts, retries, and standardized error contracts. Modeled and optimized data access using PostgreSQL with indexed queries and migration tooling, reducing slow-query time by ~35% for high-traffic workflows handling sensitive data. Implemented automated testing with Jest and React Testing Library plus CI checks in Git, increasing coverage on critical flows and reducing production regressions by ~15%. Introduced baseline observability using CloudWatch metrics/logs and structured logging in Node.js, improving incident diagnosis time and enabling performance regression tracking.
