Frontend Architecture & Tech Leadership Experience

With 11+ years building for the web — 7+ in modern frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript) — I've led teams of 30+ engineers and today work as a hands-on Tech Lead — architecting scalable React/Next.js systems, writing production code, and driving technical recruitment.
