About

Professional summary

I am a front-end engineer with seven years of experience architecting, building, and maintaining enterprise-scale web applications using React, TypeScript, and JavaScript.

I build modular, scalable user interfaces using component-driven architecture and Atomic Design principles. I have created and maintained design systems and reusable component libraries adopted by more than 10 engineering teams.

I specialize in complex state management, data-heavy application flows, responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and high-performance rendering. My work includes code splitting, lazy loading, virtualization, and optimization for large datasets.

I prioritize accessible and secure front-end experiences, including WCAG 2.1 AA-conscious development, content security policies, XSS prevention, data sanitization, and validation workflows.

I collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams to translate designs into maintainable production code. I also bring supporting backend experience with Spring Boot, Java, PostgreSQL, SQL, Node.js, and REST APIs.

I have led front-end teams, modernized legacy JavaScript applications into React and TypeScript architectures, improved performance and test coverage, and supported production systems used across hundreds of sites.

Career history

Front End Engineer LAMISPlus EMR / Data.FI Project

I worked on an enterprise health platform used across more than 180 sites and managing over 2 million records. I built and maintained scalable React and TypeScript front-end architecture, reusable UI components, and a design-system approach for distributed engineering teams.

I optimized data-heavy interfaces through code splitting, lazy loading, and virtualization, keeping large record views responsive. I also partnered with product, design, and backend teams on REST API integration, authentication, accessibility, security validation, and the modular re-architecture of the platform.

I owned production support and helped reduce reporting-related issues from approximately 65% of cases to 2%, enabling more independent and fault-isolated deployments.

Front End Developer LAMISPlus EMR / Data.FI Project

I architected and maintained reusable, highly modular UI components using component-driven and Atomic Design methodologies. I contributed to a design system adopted across more than 10 engineering teams, helping improve delivery speed by 40%.

I managed complex application state and data flow for large, synchronized, data-heavy views. I delivered responsive and cross-browser interfaces that remained usable in low-connectivity environments and on older browsers.

I implemented code-level security, data sanitization, validation checks, and WCAG-conscious accessibility practices while integrating front-end features with asynchronous REST API and authentication workflows.

Front End Developer & Team Lead Admoni Inc

I led front-end development for a rewards-based advertising technology platform serving more than 100,000 active users. I built an analytics-driven administration dashboard with data visualizations that increased conversion rates from 20% to 80%.

I developed a reusable React component library that accelerated cross-team feature delivery by 85%. I also modernized a legacy JavaScript codebase to React and TypeScript and reduced time-to-interactive by 50% through route-based code splitting.

Front End Developer Calmglobal Infotech Ltd

I built a social networking application with family-tree and family-history functionality. I led a 10-person front-end team on architecture decisions, engineering practices, and delivery coordination.

I championed TypeScript adoption across the codebase, reducing runtime errors by 80%. I also implemented production observability and monitoring patterns to improve application reliability and support.

Front End Developer AkI Solution (E-School)

I built a report-card templating system that was adopted by more than 500 schools. I also developed and maintained over 20 school websites with responsive, user-focused interfaces.

My work supported improved digital enrollment outcomes, contributing to an increase in student admissions from 40% to 80%.

Front End Developer Grapevine Innovate Ltd

I built more than 15 web applications using responsive layouts, reusable components, Atomic Design principles, and maintainable front-end structures. I also developed a web platform providing flexible payment plans for individuals and SMEs.

I migrated a legacy React application to a modern React and TypeScript architecture, improving Lighthouse scores by 40 points and reaching 75% test coverage.
