Strong focus on web performance (LCP, FID, CLS) and accessibility (WCAG 2.1).
Experience with frontend CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (Playwright), and versioned deployments.
Familiarity with design systems (Figma integration, Storybook) and collaborative design-to-dev workflows.
Exposure to enterprise-grade systems, localization, and internationalization (i18n) strategies.

Mindset & Values
System thinker: Sees the frontend as a living ecosystem, not a collection of pages.

Exposure to SaaS, fintech, or accounting/ERP products is a plus.

Impact Metrics
Improve frontend performance, reliability, and maintainability across applications.
Drive adoption of shared component libraries and design systems.
Reduce UI regressions and build times through better modularization and CI/CD improvements.
Enhance developer productivity via architectural improvements and tooling.
Publish internal and external technical blogs on frontend innovation and performance learnings.
