👨💻 About
Senior Frontend Engineer with 8+ years of experience building and scaling production-grade web applications.
Most recently, I worked as a Founding Senior Frontend Engineer on a real-time AI platform, building the frontend from scratch and scaling it to ~1M users. I focus on system design, performance, real-time applications, and frontend architecture, going beyond UI into reliability, data flow, observability, and production performance.
Strong experience with React, TypeScript, Next.js, SSR, WebSockets, GraphQL, and scalable frontend systems, as well as analytics, payment flows, browser extensions, design systems, and frontend infrastructure.
Based in Madrid, Spain, open to remote opportunities across the EU and globally.
