I created responsive user interfaces for web applications that function seamlessly across all devices and browsers. While primarily using React for front-end development, I also worked with Angular and Vue as required by specific projects. I implemented and managed state with Redux and Context API, ensuring efficient data flow and state management throughout the applications. I developed reusable, modular components to streamline the development process and optimized React applications for performance using techniques like code-splitting, lazy loading, and efficient rendering practices. Additionally, I contributed to React Native app development, expanding the team's capabilities in mobile platforms. My efforts in building robust front-end solutions helped meet tight deadlines, deliver high-quality results, drive client satisfaction, and ultimately increase team revenue.
