Building Spawnd — a platform that lets people play high-quality games directly in their browser. Think YouTube, but for games. I own the frontend architecture and sit at the table for every technical decision alongside the CTO, PO, and Designer.

• ▹ Architected the frontend for a console-like browser experience running WebAssembly game builds with multithreading and optimized input handling
• ▹ Shipped critical features for the platform's public launch — on time, with full test coverage
• ▹ Bridge between engineering and product: I translate business goals into technical decisions and push back when needed

Frontend engineer on a task management platform used by thousands of companies. This is where I grew from a mid-level developer into someone who leads initiatives. I went beyond feature work — I tackled the problems nobody wanted to touch: legacy code, performance bottlenecks, and inconsistent patterns across the codebase.

• ▹ Replaced the bundling pipeline, cutting bundle size and significantly improving navigation speed
• ▹ Led large-scale library upgrades and standardized components and hooks across the entire codebase
• ▹ Established JSDoc typing patterns and coding standards that became the team's baseline for code quality

My first dev role. Built and maintained the frontend of an e-commerce platform, working across the full delivery pipeline — from component development to CI/CD and deployment. Took ownership of internal documentation early on, something I still carry with me.

• ▹ Delivered React and Gatsby components integrated with Directus CMS and deployed through Netlify
• ▹ Managed complex state flows with Redux and MobX across product catalogs and checkout
• ▹ Became the go-to person for internal knowledge sharing — documented patterns and onboarded new devs

Where it all started. Provided technical support across multiple systems while spending every free moment learning to code. Built chatbot automations that streamlined support workflows — and eventually made the jump to development.

• ▹ Automated support processes by building chatbot skills on the LAIS/Blip platform
• ▹ Hands-on troubleshooting across databases, environments, and client-facing systems
