Senior Frontend Developer / Technical Lead QCatalyst Romania
I work as a hands-on frontend developer and technical lead across established brands and early-stage startups. I build and launch web applications from scratch, collaborate with product managers and UX/design teams, develop proof of concepts, and contribute to product decisions, user flows, technical approaches, and requirements.
My work has included short-form news, AI-powered audio processing, content platforms, and interactive mapping experiences. For National Geographic Society, I built React and Next.js content platforms using SSR, SSG, and ISR; developed ArcGIS and Mapbox experiences; helped organize a React and SCSS design system; integrated Algolia and Sanity CMS; improved Jest/Cypress coverage; and contributed to GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
I lead developers across projects while remaining actively involved in implementation. I provide code reviews, technical guidance, mentoring, knowledge sharing, career support, and performance feedback, while partnering with project managers and stakeholders to support delivery and clear communication.
