I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer specialising in scalable, high-performance web applications across the modern JavaScript ecosystem — Vue, Nuxt, React, Next.js, and TypeScript. For the last six years I've worked where frontend quality has real financial and civic consequences: payment processors, payroll engines, and biometric identity systems used by governments and financial institutions.
I lead frontend architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and collaborate closely with product, backend, and QA teams — with a focus on performance budgets, maintainability, accessibility, and the long-term health of the systems I ship.
