Summary

I’m a Frontend Developer with 7 years of total experience in web development, including the last five years focused entirely on frontend development with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind. Known for combining technical depth with practical delivery. Along with hands-on coding, I’ve been involved in architecture decisions, code reviews, and helping teammates grow.

Key achievements include:

  • Built and maintained a private UI component library (React, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui) that became the foundation for multiple company projects.
  • Took ownership of frontend architecture decisions, ensuring scalability and maintainability of critical modules.
  • Optimized CI/CD pipelines and Docker-based workflows significantly improve release stability and speed.
  • Reworked and boosted the performance of complex user management tables in the admin panel, making them scale smoothly with large datasets. From 30s+ loading time to less than 2s.
  • Mentored teammates through code reviews and knowledge sharing, raising overall code quality.

While my main focus is frontend, I also bring a solid background in backend (PHP, WordPress) that helps me understand full project lifecycles. I’m a hands-on developer with an eye for architecture and clean code, capable of both delivering features quickly and building systems that last.
