About

As a Senior Software Engineer, I specialize in architecting elegant user experiences and high-performance frontend solutions. With a deep expertise in the Angular ecosystem, I transform complex requirements into intuitive, scalable applications that users love and developers can easily maintain. In my recent work, I led a complete UI/UX overhaul for an edutech platform, where I built a custom component library from scratch to establish a unified design system with Storybook. I thrive on solving tough challenges, whether it's modernizing a codebase from RxJS to Signals for better state management or hunting down bottlenecks to decrease page load times by over 60%. For me, software development is about creating value, enhancing usability, and driving business success. I'm always open to connecting with fellow developers and discussing new opportunities in frontend development and architecture. Specialties: Angular, TypeScript, UI/UX Design, Frontend Architecture, Design Systems, Storybook, Performance Optimization, State Management (RxJS, Signals), Code Modernization, Edutech.
