Work Background
AUTODOCPrincipal Front-End Software Engineer
Aug. 2023CascaisAs a Principal Front-End Software Engineer, I architected and led the company-wide migration from a monolithic system to a cutting-edge Micro Front-End Architecture. This pivotal initiative unlocked new levels of scalability and agility by empowering multiple teams to develop and deploy features independently across various business domains. ● Architected and spearheaded the strategic transition from a legacy monolith to a scalable Micro Front-End Architecture, centered around a novel orchestrator component that managed multiple micro-apps. ● Delivered transformative performance gains, reducing Time to First Byte (TTFB) from 3.86s to 0.753s, improving the overall performance score from 87% to 98%, and boosting the accessibility score from 72% to 94%. ● Innovated a server-side SEO strategy by shifting complex business logic from the front end to an external service, ensuring full compliance with legacy SEO rules and optimal crawlability for search engines. ● Led the full-cycle development of four new front-end engineering teams, including talent acquisition, technical screening, and team structuring to build a center of excellence. ● Drove cross-functional strategy by collaborating closely with key stakeholders from UI/UX, SEO, Data, Backend, and DevOps to align technical execution with business objectives. ● Served as the primary technical liaison to executive leadership, delivering strategic updates and progress reports to the VP of Engineering, CTO, and CEO to ensure top-level alignment.
