Key Strengths

• Led end-to-end frontend architecture for a reconciliation dashboard (modular feature ownership, reusable components, standardized data layer)
• Quality at scale: enforced linting/SonarQube and mandatory unit tests (~80% coverage) to reduce regressions
• Strong React performance optimization (React 18 concurrency, memoization, code splitting, virtualization) for large datasets
• Resolved complex shared-state issues by centralizing global filters in Redux with normalized data and memoized selectors
• Cross-functional execution with product/design via Figma walkthroughs, iterative demos, and responsive + accessible implementation
• High-stakes delivery management: documented QA test cases, user demos, phased production rollout with feature flags/backout plan
• Measured impact: improved web app performance by ~30% through API/data handling optimizations
