React.js
Composable, performant React UIs with hooks, Redux Toolkit, and Suspense.
React is the UI library I have shipped the most production work with. I build composable component systems with hooks, manage server state with React Query or RTK Query, and handle client state with Redux Toolkit when it earns its place. I care about render correctness and bundle size — not just 'does it work in dev'.
How I work with React.js
I started with React on class components and grew with the ecosystem — hooks, context, Suspense, server components. Most of my production React work since 2022 has been on functional components with hooks and a clear separation between server-state and client-state.
I treat React as a serious UI runtime: I profile renders with the React DevTools profiler, memoize judiciously (not reflexively), and keep an eye on bundle size in CI. I prefer composition over prop-drilling and small focused components over giant containers.
I have shipped React in many shapes — Next.js App Router, standard CRA-style SPAs, embedded widgets, and admin dashboards. The pattern that wins for me is co-located data + UI, with a state-management tool added only when actual coordination problems show up.
React.js across business domains
Built operator dashboards in React with real-time updates over WebSockets and large-table virtualization for document lists.
Delivered buyer/seller dashboards in React with map-based search, filtered lists, and inline editing.
Implemented the analytics dashboard with React + Recharts and tenant-scoped data views.
Built the buyer-facing browsing experience and the dealership inventory-management UI in React.
Real issues I resolved using React.js
Cut a heavy table's re-render time from ~600ms to ~80ms
A dealership inventory table with ~1500 rows was re-rendering the entire list on every keystroke in the filter input.
Memoized the row component, lifted the filter into a debounced state, and added windowed rendering with react-window for very long lists.
Typing felt instant, scroll jank disappeared, and the page stopped being the team's #1 perf complaint.
Removed prop-drilling without reaching for a global store
A nested dashboard was passing 6+ props through 5 layers of components, making refactors painful.
Introduced a tightly-scoped React Context for the dashboard's view state, with a custom hook for consumers — no global store, no Redux required.
Refactors got dramatically easier and the codebase stayed simple — no over-engineered state layer for a problem context could solve.
Fixed a memory leak in a real-time updates panel
A panel subscribed to a WebSocket on mount but never cleaned up on unmount — navigating away and back leaked sockets and grew the listener count linearly.
Returned a proper cleanup function from useEffect that closed the socket and removed listeners; added a custom useWebSocket hook so the pattern was reusable.
Long-running sessions stopped degrading; memory profile flattened; the bug class went away project-wide once the hook was adopted.
