Frontend / Fullstack (React, Node.js)

I go where the problem is.

I help teams turn slow, complex applications into fast, reliable, and easy-to-use products. β†’ Interfaces handling 50K+ records, multi-criteria filtering β†’ Event-driven systems (RabbitMQ, WebSockets) β†’ Config-driven UIs without frontend deploys Worked on systems in enterprise SaaS, healthcare, legal, and energy β€” often dealing with messy, legacy codebases and turning them into stable, usable products.

What I work on

  • Legacy & Complex Systems β€” stabilizing messy, hard to maintain systems
  • Complex Data Interfaces β€” filtering, state management for multi-step workflows
  • Performance Optimization β€” rendering, caching, API reduction

Core Stack:

React
Next.js
TypeScript
Node.js
PostgreSQL
MongoDB
Tailwind CSS
shadcn/ui

Work Highlights

Built data-heavy React interfaces (1K+ items) with smooth interaction by introducing lazy loading and reducing render load

Delivered configuration-driven UI systems rendering from JSON, enabling new features without frontend code changes

Stabilized RabbitMQ-based messaging under production load, resolving spike-related failures and enabling reliable real-time communication

Optimized filtering across 50K+ records using indexing and aggregation, reducing query times from 5–10s to sub-second
