Front-End Developer at Adzz Ltd. (2022-01 – 2026-01)

• Built the front-end from scratch for a multi-site affiliate platform: 23 sites on a shared TypeScript codebase, isolated per domain, served across multiple locales and countries.
• Migrated the front-end from Next.js to Astro + Svelte 5 (SSR with island architecture and deferred hydration), improving PageSpeed scores from ~50 to ~90 across the platform.
• Implemented full support across 8+ languages, including RTL (Arabic), CJK scripts (Thai, Japanese), and long-word languages (German); built a single component system supporting multiple themes and dark mode per site.
• Adapted front-end components and locale-specific configurations for 23 sites during migration from Drupal to WordPress + GraphQL, then introduced Typesense as an indexed read layer, replacing slow GraphQL queries with near-instant index lookups.
• Reworked the front-end layer during backend CMS migration from WordPress to Payload CMS + REST: adapted component structure and data-fetching to the new API and project architecture.
• Worked with a middleware chain handling geo/regulatory rules, URL rewrites, redirects, SEO, auth context, and security headers; made changes and adjustments as needed.
• Integrated AI-assisted workflows (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Claude Code) into daily development and refactoring.
