Build.
Scale.
Sustain.
Senior JavaScript developer with 10+ years of experience building user-focused web applications that power logistics, travel, and e-commerce experiences. I care about how things work under the hood, but I care even more about how they feel to real users. My favorite projects have a strong UX focus, clean architecture, and high impact.
About
I build things for the web, and I love making those things work better.
What drives me? Bringing clarity and usability to complex systems. I've led frontend development across modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue.js), built custom UI libraries, created automated testing pipelines, and helped define frontend architecture standards across teams.
Whether modernizing legacy apps or supporting large-scale web platforms, I bring a deep focus on performance, accessibility, and maintainability. I collaborate closely with designers, backend developers, and product managers to align technical execution with real-world needs, delivering thoughtful, scalable solutions.
