Summary

Frontend Engineer with 5+ years of experience building web platforms, browser extensions, and marketing websites. Focused on high-quality delivery, code maintainability, and continuous process optimization. Known for solving complex issues, supporting teammates, and taking ownership aligned with product and business goals. Driven by curiosity and a product mindset — always searching for better ways to improve performance, user experience, and development efficiency. I believe the best results happen when engineers think not only about code — but about users, product value, team collaboration, and company growth.
