Experience

Professional Experience, Leadership & Community Engagement

Staff-level engineer with a measurable track record across three deeply complementary tracks — Frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript), Full-Stack (MERN: MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), and Mobile (React Native). Over 8+ years I've shipped to 600K+ active users at Dematic, Celfocus / Ooredoo, QiDZ, and Reach — owning architecture from Figma to production, leading 5-engineer pods, and building design systems and micro-frontend platforms that compound team velocity. The throughline is impact: faster pages, fewer support tickets, higher engagement, shorter deployment cycles, and engineers who level up around me. Outside of work, I invest in the regional tech ecosystem through mentorship and long-running volunteer engagements.

Dematic  — Senior Frontend Engineer

Senior Frontend Engineer

Dematic

Oct 2024 – Present

Remote (Atlanta, GA)

Driving frontend architecture for Dematic's supply-chain automation platform powering warehouse operations at global scale.

Unblocked 50K+ warehouse operators in low-connectivity environments by architecting an offline-first React PWA (UNITE-APP) with service workers and IndexedDB-backed sync, enabling continuous field operations even when networks fail.

Compounded team velocity by owning a reusable component library of 5+ micro-frontend modules and design primitives, cutting deployment time 13% and lifting user engagement 10% across consuming squads.

Raised product quality by shipping WCAG-compliant, pixel-perfect interfaces in lockstep with UX and product, and by codifying unit-test and code-review standards that measurably reduced regression rate.

Cut perceived load time 20% by re-architecting the data layer around React-Query caching and background revalidation, eliminating redundant network calls.

Tech: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vite, React-Query, Redux, Tailwind, PWA, Service Workers, IndexedDB, TDD.

Delivered production web and full-stack applications for early-stage clients while establishing strong engineering foundations.

Shipped multiple greenfield React / Next.js builds end-to-end, applying SOLID principles, clean-code practices, and modern type-safe tooling from day one.

Led the frontend of DoAnalysis (also DoPannel), a B2B data-analytics platform that ingests user data and arbitrary client datasets for exploration and analysis — architecting it as a modular monolith of 13 independent React modules on a shared design-system package, with reusable components and logic to eliminate duplication, a logic layer decoupled from the UI, and accessibility- and performance-first delivery.

Rendered data through interactive Leaflet and Google Maps, high-density data grids, and D3 / Recharts visualizations with fully customizable filtering, and hardened it with automation and testing layers plus Sentry error monitoring and structured logging — delivered against a GoLang microservices backend owned by a dedicated backend team.
