About & Background
Senior frontend developer and contractor delivering production web and mobile software.
With over 6 years of hands-on software development experience, I specialize in building responsive, high-performance web applications with React and Next.js, as well as cross-platform mobile apps with React Native.
I have partnered with startups, agencies, and businesses across Europe, the United States, and the Philippines — taking projects from concept and design system implementation to production deployment and long-term optimization.
Whether you need an independent contractor to lead frontend architecture, ship a critical product feature, or join an agile distributed engineering team, I focus on clean code, type safety, accessible UI, and tangible business outcomes.
