Frontend Engineer
I'm a frontend-focused developer who builds high-performance web applications with a passion for exceptional user experience. My approach combines technical excellence with practical solutions that make a real difference for users and development teams alike.
Having thrived in startup environments, I've worn multiple hats - from leading client demos and deliverable discussions to optimizing application performance and enhancing user experiences. This versatility, combined with strong communication skills, has enabled me to bridge gaps between technical teams and stakeholders while maintaining a focus on delivering exceptional user experiences.
Technical Experience & Approach
Architecture & Performance
Led a successful migration to micro-frontends in a large-scale application, improving both development and user experience. The 2.5-month project significantly reduced CI/CD pipeline times and enabled faster initial page loads by implementing component-based loading strategies. Key to this success was building team consensus and maintaining development velocity throughout the transition.
Infrastructure
Advocated for and implemented strong type safety using TypeScript with tRPC and GraphQL (Apollo). This foundation proved invaluable in preventing bugs and enabling cross-team collaboration. The self-documenting nature of GraphQL allowed multiple teams to work independently while maintaining consistency across platforms, significantly reducing communication overhead.
User Experience & Collaboration
As the sole frontend developer for an educational platform, I drove numerous UX improvements through close collaboration with different teams. These included enhancing quiz feedback with animations and sound effects, improving component affordances for better intuitiveness, and optimizing API caching strategies with the backend team. These changes led to immediate positive user feedback and increased product engagement.
Technical Toolkit
Approach
I start with the user in mind, building out from their needs. For me, performance isn't just about speed—it's about crafting a flawless, intuitive experience that feels effortless. When tackling technical challenges, I prioritize simplicity, as it often leads to the most effective solutions.
