Develux

Back-office platform used by support and content-operations teams to manage workflows for several thousand end users.

Acted both as tech lead and product owner: scoped weekly/monthly/quarterly plans, decomposed tasks, wrote FE/API requirements, coordinated with design, and looked after release quality.

• Cut Angular 17→19 migration from ~3–5 days to ~1 day using an iterative AI-assisted approach that accelerated the fix-verify-refine loop
• Migrated the whole project to ESbuild (dev + prod), which noticeably improved build speed and hot-reload responsiveness
• Increased unit test coverage from 5–7% to ~35% by testing core components and utility functions
• Removed two legacy "cabinets" from the monorepo, reducing codebase size by ~50% and improving bundle size and build times

GlobalLogic

Administration tools for a ticketing platform with high traffic peaks and strict uptime requirements, serving both a major annual event and independent organizers.

Led frontend development and code reviews; owned build tooling and architecture across the admin surface.

• Fixed a broken Webpack 5 migration where an outdated CSS plugin caused 15–20 minute hot-reload delays; after the fix, reload time dropped to 5–7 seconds
• Optimized Webpack configuration and introduced ESbuild, cutting build times and reducing bundle sizes
• Reworked CSS Modules architecture, eliminating rendering inconsistencies across the admin interface
• Refactored calendar and date-picker components to handle timezone-aware date logic correctly across all event types

Freelance

Built a blockchain-based payment service with payment gateway integration. Designed architecture together with the CTO — several solutions went to production unchanged: permission checks on every request, a transaction queue, and Redis caching.
