My reflection on real-world engineering challenges
Reducing filter clicks in a data-heavy application
A keyboard query bar for analysts filtering 100,000-row tables, so several criteria become one request while the dropdown chips stay in place.
Automating i18n: How We Cut Localization Time by 90% and Optimized Our Lokalise Bills

21.2 MB to 10.7 MB of build output. Lighthouse 67.6 to 86.3. Total Blocking Time 228 ms to 28 ms, across a micro-frontend React platform with 14 routes and a shared design system.
