Engineered QuickStay, a full-stack hotel management SaaS using Next.js 14 App Router and Prisma ORM — reducing double-booking conflicts by 90% through real-time availability locking logic. Built WorkTrack, an enterprise resource portal for workforce operations — optimized database query patterns to cut data retrieval latency by 40%, supporting concurrent multi-user workflows. Architected both products as production-grade deployments on Vercel with CI/CD pipelines, achieving sub-1.5s LCP and 90+ Lighthouse scores on mobile and desktop. Integrated LLM-assisted development workflows using Cursor and GPT APIs to accelerate feature delivery by ~30% without sacrificing code quality.

Architected responsive, high-traffic web applications in React.js for a heritage hospitality brand — reducing UI layout defects by 40% through a systematic component audit and atomic design migration. Designed and shipped a proprietary reusable component library (30+ components), cutting new feature development time by 25% and reducing cross-team design inconsistencies. Led web performance audits that cut initial page load by 30% via route-based code-splitting, lazy loading, and image optimization — directly improving SEO rankings and bounce rate. Owned end-to-end frontend delivery: from Figma handoff to production deploy on Vercel, working cross-functionally with design and backend teams.

About

I build frontend systems that are fast by design — not fast after optimization. As a Frontend Engineer specializing in Next.js, TypeScript, and React, I architect UIs for enterprise SaaS and AI-first products where performance isn't optional. My work consistently hits 90+ Lighthouse scores and has reduced page load times by 30% across high-traffic platforms. What I actually do: → Migrate legacy state architectures to Redux Toolkit (35% fewer re-renders) → Deliver modular component systems that increase team velocity by 25% → Build production SaaS — hotel management engines, enterprise resource portals — from zero to deployed on Vercel → Integrate LLM workflows and AI tooling (Cursor, GPT APIs) into frontend development cycles My edge: I treat performance as a product feature, not a post-launch fix. I'm equally comfortable in the terminal, in Figma handoffs, and in a product strategy call. Currently open to Frontend Engineer, Full-Stack, or Forward Deployed Engineer roles at AI-first companies, high-growth startups (Series A–C), or teams building developer infrastructure. Stack: Next.js 14 · TypeScript · React · Tailwind CSS · Redux Toolkit · Node.js · Framer Motion · PostgreSQL · Vercel · Prisma
