About Me

Senior Frontend/Full-Stack Engineer with 15+ years delivering high-performing e-commerce and product platforms across React, Next.js/Remix, Node.js, and cloud. Design-minded leader who turns ambiguous problems into shipped outcomes-mentors developers, sets component standards, and hardens release flows. Deep experience with Commercetools, Shopify, Contentful, Algolia, GA4/GTM, driving Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and analytics accuracy. Comfortable across the stack (APIs, CI/CD, AWS/Vercel) with a track record of shipping React Native apps. Seeking senior/lead roles where I can shape frontend architecture and deliver measurable business impact.
