Work Experience

Senior Front-End Developer

Siam Computing

Dec 2022 - Aug 2026

Architected a Server-Driven UI (SDUI) system that let product and design teams launch new UI modules without front-end deployments, cutting feature release cycle time by approximately 40 percent and decoupling release schedules across teams; built the rendering engine stateless and cache-friendly to support 10x traffic growth without re-architecture. Cut average page load from approximately 3.2 seconds to 1.4 seconds and reduced redundant API calls by 35 percent by overhauling React component rendering and TanStack Query caching, tracked via Core Web Vitals (LCP improved approximately 0.8 seconds, CLS held under 0.05). Built and maintained WebSocket-based real-time data layers for live dashboards, sustaining concurrent data streams at under 100 milliseconds update latency, including connection pooling and graceful reconnect logic for high-concurrency reliability. Integrated the Zoom SDK into the Capital Ambulance project on top of a WebSocket-based real-time layer, fully customizing the Zoom UI to match product design requirements and building in-call live chat and file-sharing functionality within the customized Zoom interface. Owned and improved the GitLab CI/CD pipeline end-to-end, including automated test gates, parallel build stages, and org-wide ESLint standards, cutting average deployment time by 25 percent and removing manual release steps. Drove TypeScript adoption across new modules, raised test coverage from approximately 40 percent to 75 percent with Jest and React Testing Library, and introduced Cypress end-to-end and visual regression suites to prevent UI regressions across releases. Led a team of 2 to 3 junior developers as technical lead: ran structured code reviews, gave and incorporated peer feedback, documented front-end best practices, and mentored engineers into independently owning features, improving PR quality and reducing review cycles. Partnered directly with product owners to turn Figma designs into pixel-accurate, accessible React components, contributing to WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across core product surfaces. Supported Node.js backend service integration and deployment for Rarohub, the internal Server-Driven UI platform, and Navyug, a share-market-based product, ensuring smooth end-to-end functionality between front-end and backend layers. Adopted agentic, AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin/Windsurf) and LLM APIs into daily workflows to accelerate prototyping, code review, and test generation. Contributed to select internal projects built with Vue.js, applying component-driven and state-management principles alongside the primary React/Next.js stack.

Front-End Developer

Gloify, Searchblox, Softlets

Oct 2021 - Nov 2022

Built scalable, component-driven UI architecture in React.js and TypeScript for multiple client-facing products, contributing to a codebase serving 20,000+ monthly active users across diverse business verticals. Integrated REST and GraphQL APIs with structured error handling and loading-state management, improving perceived reliability on data-heavy screens and reducing user-facing error rates. Implemented Tailwind CSS design systems across projects, standardizing styling patterns and cutting per-feature CSS authoring time by approximately 30 percent. Diagnosed and resolved performance bottlenecks, including unnecessary re-renders and bundle bloat, using Chrome DevTools and Webpack Bundle Analyzer, achieving a 20 percent improvement in Time to Interactive (TTI). Wrote unit and integration tests with Jest and React Testing Library, achieving 60 percent or higher coverage on critical UI modules with a focus on real user flows and edge cases.
