About
As the most senior front-end engineer at Ookla's Downdetector team, I helped rebuild Downdetector Enterprise from the ground up, shaping the stack and best practices for the product that grew revenue by 60% year over year. I now focus on the migration of Downdetector to Next.js SSR, improving performance, SEO, and maintainability.
I specialize in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with strong expertise in Core Web Vitals, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), design systems, and internationalization (i18n). I also leverage AI tools (Claude Code, OpenAI) daily to accelerate coding and testing — always guided by my senior expertise to ensure reliable results.
While front-end is my main focus, I have also delivered backend features in Python/Django when needed. I thrive on translating complex requirements into clean, scalable solutions, mentoring engineers, and collaborating with design and product to deliver measurable outcomes.
