Lead cross-functional teams and own the full delivery process — estimations, sprint planning, code review, testing and release. Deep expertise in **React / TypeScript** — render optimization and performance profiling, server-state management (React Query), large-application architecture and design systems, SSR with Next.js, custom hooks and Suspense. Production experience with **Angular (up to v20)** and **Vue**, plus **Node.js** and **PHP / Laravel** on the backend. A distinct strength area is **DevOps and observability**: Docker, CI/CD, and monitoring setup (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK). Background across fintech, B2B, real-time systems, data visualization, medical and industrial domains. Actively integrate **AI-assisted development tools** (Claude Code, MCP servers, LLM-powered workflows) into day-to-day engineering to accelerate delivery and improve code quality. --- ## Core Strengths - **Team leadership & process ownership** — Scrum/Demo/Retro, task estimation, on-time delivery, mentoring, code-review culture - **Full-stack delivery** — end-to-end features from database to UI - **React (deep)** — render optimization and profiling (memo/useMemo/useCallback, eliminating re-renders), server-state with React Query, SSR/Next.js, custom hooks and Suspense, architecture and design systems - **Other Frontend** — Angular (v7–v20) including legacy, Vue, complex SPAs with tens of screens and thousands of users - **Backend** — Node.js, PHP/Laravel, REST APIs, event-driven architecture (RabbitMQ), SQL optimization - **DevOps & observability** — Docker, CI/CD pipelines;
