EXPERIENCE

Front-End Engineer | PlayQ Jun 2023 – Present

• Led major performance optimization initiatives on a Next.js/Webpack stack, successfully raising the mobile
Core Web Vitals score from 66 to 92.
• Deferred Google Tag Manager loading, configured Next.js image breakpoints, and optimized Cloudflare
integration to drastically improve Lighthouse performance metrics.
• Reduced initial bundle sizes by 36% through extensive Code-Splitting, migrating package management to
pnpm, and extracting heavy modules (e.g., Monaco Editor).
• Architected a VFS-based memory solution with session caching to bypass WebAssembly heap limits,
enabling efficient in-browser encrypted SQLite processing.
