I’m Paul-Cosmin Benchea, a frontend developer who loves turning designs into responsive, user-friendly web experiences. I’ve worked with modern Angular and TypeScript to build and refactor applications, create reusable components, and implement features like lazy loading, nested routing, i18n, and robust form handling. I also enjoy collaborating closely with designers in tools like Figma and translating UI concepts into clean, maintainable code. With experience integrating REST APIs, handling authentication via JWT interceptors, and using RxJS/NGXS for state management (including Nx monorepos and publishable libraries), I focus on delivering reliable functionality and polished interfaces.
