  • Work closely with backend, product, and design teams to solve problems end to end.
  • Identify architectural bottlenecks before scaling issues arise and drive long-term solutions.
  • Improve frontend performance across loading, rendering, network usage, memory, and bundle size.
  • Build reusable frontend infrastructure, components, and patterns across teams.
  • Improve observability and production debugging through metrics, logging, error tracking, traces, and monitoring.
