Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in high-performance React/Next.js web apps

Remote, Canada8y exp

“Frontend engineer with experience at Autodesk and Quantify, leading and scaling Next.js/React + TypeScript products from architecture through QA. Strong focus on performance (Core Web Vitals, ISR, caching/CDN) and real-time interfaces (WebSockets, Chart.js/D3), with measurable wins like 30–40% bundle reduction and ~60% less data overfetching using GraphQL/Apollo.”

“Frontend-focused engineer (~8 years) with strong React/TypeScript and Angular experience who leads end-to-end UI architecture, performance budgets, and quality practices at scale. Known for restructuring large, tightly coupled codebases into feature-based domains to eliminate UI freezes and improve team throughput, and for tight Product/Design/QA alignment via a “3 Amigos” process that catches workflow gaps early. Currently seeking a new frontend role due to GE Vernova outsourcing; has been acquired twice by large companies.”

Director-level Product Leader specializing in consumer growth and digital platforms

Rio Dell, CA13y exp

“Product leader with strong consumer and education-oriented product experience, including personalization, trust/safety moderation, and AI-enabled workflows. Stands out for pairing user research with measurable outcomes—such as boosting Spanish review output by 165% through AI translation—and for a thoughtful philosophy that AI should amplify human judgment and support rather than replace it.”

“Software engineer with payments-domain experience (Visa) building real-time transaction monitoring and analytics systems. Strong end-to-end ownership across Spring Boot/Kafka microservices, PostgreSQL modeling, and AWS/Kubernetes operations, plus React+TypeScript dashboards—focused on low-latency processing, secure APIs, and zero-downtime production releases.”

Mid-Level Full-Stack Engineer specializing in React, TypeScript, and microservices

3y exp

“Built and productionized an AI agent-based in-app assistant at ISAFE to guide users through document workflows, piloting with a partner school district and then rolling out across districts. Combines hands-on LLM/agent debugging (logs, fallback rates, state/context tracking) with strong technical demos and sales enablement through live workflows and pilot programs (e.g., Osceola School District).”

“Frontend-leaning full-stack engineer who built internal product capabilities at Mercedes-Benz R&D, including a vehicle exploration platform, test drive booking flow, and a 0→1 vehicle comparison feature. Stands out for combining strong React architecture and performance optimization with practical backend/API ownership in Node/Express and MongoDB.”

“Built Nexthire-AI, shipping an end-to-end LLM-powered resume–job description matching product (React + Node.js) using embeddings and retrieval to generate match scores and skill-gap recommendations. Improved post-launch engagement by making feedback cleaner and more actionable, and added production guardrails (validation, timeouts, fallbacks) to handle messy resume formats and AI API instability.”

“Frontend/product engineer with strong ownership across architecture, deployment, and cross-functional product decisions, especially in finance workflow systems. Built a metadata-driven React/TypeScript framework at Hyperbots that cut feature development effort by ~70% and manual effort by 50%+, and has also driven backend API cleanup, real-time experiences, and a full GA4 tracking architecture redesign.”

“Frontend engineer with hands-on experience building React/Next.js/TypeScript production features, including a driver partner registration site and a statistics dashboard with interactive maps. Demonstrates practical strength in reusable component design, CSS/layout debugging, responsive UI quality, and performance optimization for data-heavy interfaces.”

“Senior software developer with hands-on experience building real-time React + TypeScript dashboards and map-based visualization tools for large datasets. Stands out for practical frontend performance work in production, including memoization, virtualization, debouncing, lazy loading, and Google Maps optimization for thousands of records or points.”

Mid-level Frontend Software Engineer specializing in React and e-commerce UI

West Hollywood, CA5y exp

“Frontend engineer with strong React/TypeScript depth who has shipped reusable CMS-driven UI architecture and improved production performance by eliminating inefficient per-component API calls. Particularly strong in maintainable component design, pagination/state management, and practical UX optimization using tools like Chrome DevTools and Theme UI.”

“JavaScript/TypeScript engineer with proven open-source impact: delivered a major reliability upgrade to a retry/error-handling library (standardized typed errors, added exponential backoff, expanded Jest tests, and implemented GitHub Actions CI) that was merged and released. Demonstrates strong performance engineering and debugging skills (profiling-driven optimization; diagnosed a race condition causing inconsistent retries) plus a documentation-first approach to developer experience.”
