About Me

I’m a Frontend Engineer with over 6 years of experience building modern, scalable web applications using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I specialize in creating responsive, accessible, and performance-driven user interfaces, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where clean architecture and maintainable code matter. I’ve contributed to complex FinTech platforms, e-commerce systems, and workflow automation tools, leading both feature development and frontend architecture. I’m experienced across the entire development lifecycle — from design collaboration and system planning to API integration and CI/CD automation. My strengths lie in working cross-functionally with product and backend teams, mentoring junior developers, and delivering well-tested, production-ready applications. I’m passionate about solving real-world problems through intuitive UI/UX and clean engineering, with a mindset focused on continuous learning, performance optimization, and simplicity.
