About

I’m Meriam Pales, a Senior Frontend Engineer and web developer with 10+ years of experience building responsive, customer-facing applications and data-rich product interfaces. I specialize in React and Next.js with TypeScript, translating Figma designs into fast, accessible, maintainable UI and integrating REST/GraphQL APIs to deliver end-to-end features.

In my recent roles, I’ve owned frontend development for operational workflows and dashboards using GraphQL/Apollo and visualization tooling, and I’ve supported production delivery through CI/CD, Docker, AWS, and collaboration across product and operations teams. I also have a strong healthcare background from UnitedHealth Group’s acquisition of Savvysherpa, where I worked with privacy-conscious handling of healthcare data and familiarity with HIPAA requirements, alongside measurable performance improvements (about 20% page-load improvement on a prior client project).
