About

Who I Am

I am a Frontend Engineer with over 8 years of experience in building and scaling enterprise applications. I specialize in modern JavaScript frameworks, including Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, React, and Node.js.

With a strong foundation in both frontend and backend development, I bring deep expertise in designing efficient, scalable, and secure software solutions. I have led engineering teams, driving high-impact projects and delivering innovative solutions in fast-paced environments, particularly within the payments and banking sector.

I'm passionate about building products that make a difference — whether it's streamlining complex payment flows, optimizing frontend performance, or mentoring the next generation of engineers.
