About

I care about the 100 milliseconds most engineers don't.

Over seven years, I've built and hardened the frontend layer of enterprise applications, from subscription platforms used by European publishers to e-commerce products serving tens of millions of monthly users at Daraz (Alibaba Group). My focus: interfaces that are fast, resilient, and genuinely pleasant to use, even at scale.

A few numbers that back that up:

✅ Cut JavaScript bundle size 45% and frontend build time from 4 minutes to under 90 seconds through Webpack code-splitting and build pipeline optimization

✅ Improved application load performance 40% through component and architectural refactoring

✅ Modernized two production applications' frontend stacks as part of a Rails 5.2→7.2 migration, closing 14+ security vulnerabilities along the way

✅ Built reusable component systems and design patterns adopted across multiple product teams

✅ Delivered full-stack features end-to-end, React, Redux, and REST APIs, while owning the frontend architecture

I also hold an MS in Data Science, which gives me an edge building data-dense interfaces, dashboards, analytics tools, and AI-powered products, without losing sight of what makes an interface fast and usable in the first place.
