01 — About

Angular specialist who closes every platform with one stack

Tech Lead and Senior Frontend Developer with 14+ years of experience. Angular is my core strength — and I've shipped it on every platform there is: web (SSR), Smart TV (Samsung/LG/Hisense), mobile (Ionic, iOS/Android) and desktop (Tauri).

I architect large Angular apps end-to-end — Nx monorepos, micro-frontends, multilingual (i18n), zoneless change detection, signals, NgRx, design systems and shared libraries. I build GitLab CI/CD from scratch — reusable templates, builds scoped to only the changed projects, parallel test sharding, automated semantic versioning, Docker multi-stage builds and Nginx.

I lead people — I've built and led frontend teams, run technical interviews, and own the code-review process. I test relentlessly — I raised a project to 90%+ unit-test coverage and hold my own code to the same bar. And I drive AI-assisted development — custom Claude Code skills, agents and hooks, including an AI code-review skill that handles huge MRs.
