About Me

I build playful, high-impact web experiences

A visionary frontend architect with 10+ years of experience crafting high-performance web applications using cutting-edge technologies like React, Next.js, and Vue. Proven track record of leading engineering teams, optimizing development workflows, and delivering scalable solutions that drive business growth.

As a Senior Lead at QuestDot, I spearheaded the transformation of frontend infrastructure through strategic adoption of TypeScript, micro-frontend architecture, and comprehensive performance monitoring systems. My passion for clean code and modular design led to the creation of a reusable component library that accelerated feature development by 50%.

I thrive at the intersection of technology and leadership - whether architecting complex systems, mentoring junior developers, or bridging communication between product, design, and engineering teams. My expertise spans:

🚀 Building enterprise-grade applications with React/Next.js/Vue
🛠️ Establishing CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling
📈 Performance optimization (Lighthouse scores >90)
♿ Accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1)
🌐 Internationalization and localization strategies
🔐 Security-focused development practices

With dual expertise in both hands-on development and technical leadership, I bring unique value to organizations looking to elevate their frontend capabilities. My academic background in Information Systems (First Class Honours) complements my practical experience, enabling me to approach problems with both technical depth and strategic perspective.

Currently seeking opportunities to leverage my full-stack JavaScript expertise and team leadership experience in an environment that values innovation, quality, and continuous learning.
