Experience
I bring over 2 years of professional experience navigating the complex architecture of Fortune 500 clients, backed by 5 years of dedicated full-stack engineering.
—Migrated legacy AEM enterprise apps to Next.js (SSR & Server Actions), slashing page load times by over 90%.
—Achieved a 40% increase in overall delivery speed and a 95% reduction in translation time by developing and integrating custom agentic AI workflows, demonstrating real AI ROI.
—Built a highly scalable Next.js/AWS S3 data pipeline utilizing multipart chunked uploads to handle massive 50GB file transfers without timeouts.
—Developed a custom async state management library with timed caching, reducing API polling and optimizing the existing Redux architecture.
—Deployed secure Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) proxy APIs to interface with Java microservices, Apigee, and Salesforce.
—Architected a custom i18n routing system from scratch using advanced Next.js rewrites to bypass strict enterprise deployment constraints.
—Acted as the primary Next.js SME, mentoring 10+ engineers (including senior engineers) on modern React paradigms and resolving architectural blockers.
—Engineered an end-to-end web app using React, Express, and PostgreSQL, driving the full lifecycle from schema design to deployment.
—Implemented client-side performance optimizations including component lazy loading, dynamic routing, and optimistic state updates.
