About

Lead Frontend Developer with 5+ years of experience in building fast, secure, and responsive web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily React.js. I specialize in architecting scalable frontend solutions and have hands-on experience with Next.js, React Native, Typescript and Firebase authentication flows. I’m proficient with Tailwind CSS, Fluent UI (fluent-react), and focus on code optimization, performance tuning, and web application security. In my current role, I lead a team of 3 developers and collaborate closely with design, product, and QA teams to deliver user-centric, high-quality applications. I’m also involved in the deployment and management of frontend services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), ensuring smooth CI/CD pipelines and efficient service delivery. I have experience using browser APIs like window.mediaDevices for rich media input features, and can write simple backend APIs in Node.js when needed. With a strong emphasis on quality, I regularly write unit tests using Jest and React Testing Library, and thrive in Agile/Scrum environments.
