  • 10+ years of leading the design and development of complex, large-scale web applications with a focus on performance, scalability, and user experience.
  • Possess thorough, up-to-date knowledge of search engine ranking factors and current SEO strategies with a proven track record.
  • Expert knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, and deep experience with React.
