Felipe Icaza

About

Frontend-focused full-stack engineer who built and shipped Atlas Link (atlaslink.io), an ops/admin dashboard for an alumni directory designed to scale across clients and large datasets. Strong on architecture boundaries, typed API contracts, and performance-heavy table UIs, with a rigorous testing approach (TypeScript/Jest/React Testing Library) and experience modernizing a legacy ASP.NET MVC app with a new component layer and cleaned-up CSS system.

• Scalable frontend architecture via domain boundaries and a centralized API/data layer
• Strong type-safety discipline with aggressively typed BE/FE contracts
• Performance optimization for large, complex tables (virtualization, memoization, incremental rendering, debounced filtering)
• Robust quality gates: TypeScript contracts + Jest unit tests + React Testing Library behavior tests + manual QA

• Legacy codebase modernization with safe parallel component layer and CSS system cleanup
• Documentation-driven approach to enable team adoption of new UI patterns
