Experience
SDE-2 Frontend Engineer
- Architected and shipped a comprehensive Design System and reusable component library (React, TypeScript, Storybook) adopted across 100% of product surfaces, standardizing 40+ UI patterns and reducing frontend implementation time by approximately 30%.
- Redesigned Direct Revit Import onboarding from modal-based flow to AI/LLM-assisted panel with real-time toast notifications, reducing onboarding friction for architects migrating from Autodesk Revit.
- Implemented server-side authorization layer with role-based access control (RBAC) across 3 permission levels (organization, team, project), closing critical security vulnerabilities identified during production audit.
- Delivered real-time permission synchronization via event-driven architecture — removed users lose access in under 1 second without page reload, eliminating a P0 production security gap.
- Built Tag Categories feature: project-scoped tagging system with full CRUD operations, drag-to-reorder, and color assignment using React, TypeScript, and REST APIs.
- Led Dashboard and Design Mode UI redesigns in cross-functional collaboration with product design (Figma-to-code), delivering pixel-perfect responsive interfaces across 5+ core product views.
- Engineered smooth micro-interactions and motion design using Framer Motion across 15+ UI surfaces, measurably improving perceived performance and overall UI polish.
Tech Lead
- Delivered B2B loan integration MVP in 30 days as sole technical owner, building frontend with Next.js, TypeScript, Zustand state management, and a custom reusable component library serving 3+ business verticals.
- Architected monorepo with Yarn Workspaces and configured GitHub Actions + Firebase CI/CD pipelines for fully automated, zero-manual-intervention deployments across 2 environments.
- Established code review culture, linting standards, and TypeScript strict-mode enforcement; mentored 2 junior frontend engineers, reducing review cycle time and improving code quality metrics.
Frontend Engineer
- Reduced Webpack build time by 93% (21 minutes to 1.5 minutes) through deep bundle analysis, tree-shaking optimization, dynamic imports, and build configuration tuning — the single largest developer experience improvement in 20+ engineer team history.
- Integrated Ag-Grid for complex financial data grids handling 10,000+ row datasets, improving development efficiency by 25% and cutting data-grid debugging time by 50% across equity management workflows.
- Introduced Storybook for component documentation and visual regression testing (VRT), reducing documentation overhead by 30% and enabling parallel design-development workflows across 3 product verticals.
- Conducted proof-of-concept for Micro-Frontend architecture and route-based code splitting, achieving approximately 100% improvement in initial page load time (Largest Contentful Paint) and 50% overall performance gain.
- Built and maintained responsive, cross-browser-compatible UI components using React and TypeScript, supporting scalability across 3 product verticals on the equity management platform.
