Senior Frontend Engineer | React · TypeScript · Next.js | Building AI-Powered Products on Google Vertex AI (Gemini)

About

I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer with 7 years building and scaling React applications end-to-end — from architecture through production. The work I'm proudest of: I conceived a Rule Builder platform from scratch and solely designed and built its frontend, taking it from initial concept through to production. I later extended it with an AI-powered automation layer on Google Vertex AI — using Gemini for generation and semantic retrieval — to automate a workflow that previously took significant manual effort every month. I still own its architecture and roadmap today. On the platform side, I led a redesign of a core search product experience that increased usage by 12%, and optimized client-side data flow that cut API latency by 18%. I also designed a Micro Frontend architecture on Webpack Module Federation that let multiple engineering teams ship independently instead of bottlenecking on a single release train. What I care about as an engineer: → Owning problems end-to-end, not just executing tickets → Frontend architecture that scales with team size, not just user count → Using AI as a real engineering tool — not just a demo — to remove manual work from workflows → Mentoring engineers and setting technical direction, not just writing code solo Technical toolkit: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, React Query, Google Vertex AI / Gemini, Webpack Module Federation, Tailwind CSS, Jest, Cypress. Open to Senior Frontend Engineer roles at product companies where I can take on that kind of ownership again. Always happy to connect — reach out if you're building something interesting.

Work experience

Senior Software Engineer at Cognizant, Jan 2024 - Aug 2026 · 2 yrs 8 mos, I own frontend architecture for Verizon's internal search product, setting the component, state-management, and API-integration patterns other engineers build on (React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, React Query, Tailwind CSS). The project I'm proudest of here: I conceived a Rule Builder platform as a 0→1 initiative and solely designed and developed its frontend — from initial concept through design, build, and its current production workflow. I've since extended it with an AI-powered automation layer on Google Vertex AI, using Gemini 2.5 Flash and Gemini 2.0 Flash for generation, Gemini Embedding 001 for semantic retrieval, and the Vertex AI Python SDK for orchestration — currently in user acceptance testing. On the platform side, I redesigned our core search dashboard experience (12% increase in search utilization), optimized client-side data flow and API integration (18% latency reduction, 2.6s cut in Average Handle Time), and designed a Micro Frontend architecture on Webpack Module Federation that let multiple teams deploy independently. I also drove our frontend technical design decisions, wrote the engineering standards the team works from, and mentor 4 engineers through code review and architecture discussions.

Senior Frontend Developer at Emonics LLC, Jan 2021 - Jun 2023 · 2 yrs 6 mos, New Jersey, United States, Built and shipped scalable React/TypeScript applications end-to-end, from component architecture through production deployment, across three Fortune 500 engagements. Designed reusable component libraries and modular UI architecture that cut duplicated work and improved consistency across projects, and optimized rendering performance through code splitting, lazy loading, and memoization. For Guardian Life, I built secure customer-facing and internal insurance applications and improved reliability by adding Jest/React Testing Library coverage across the codebase. For Toyota Financial Services, I developed React interfaces with a focus on cross-browser and cross-device consistency.

Frontend Developer at Hack for LA, Aug 2020 - Dec 2020 · 5 mos, Los Angeles, California, United States, Built accessible React applications and reusable components for community-focused civic tech platforms, working in an Agile team and following WCAG accessibility best practices throughout.

Graduate Associate at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Dec 2018 - Feb 2020 · 1 yr 3 mos, New York, United States, Built React-based dashboards integrated with backend APIs for internal educational platforms, improving reporting accuracy through interactive data visualizations.
