01 About

Senior Frontend Engineer with over 10 years of experience building and architecting large-scale web platforms. Deep expertise in Angular, state management, and frontend performance across EdTech, travel, and enterprise domains. Track record of setting technical direction, defining standards, and delivering in international agile teams. Early adopter of AI-assisted development workflows, including building custom agents to enhance team productivity. Equally comfortable leading architecture decisions and writing production code.

When I'm not working:

You'll likely find me playing city-builders, conquering turn-based strategy games, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, or winding down with a good book and some lo-fi beats.
