Lead Frontend Engineer

Maksym Riahuzov

Building scalable frontend systems, design platforms, and production-ready product architecture with React and TypeScript.

I take complex product areas from architecture to production, combining technical ownership, strong UI execution, mentoring, and delivery discipline.

Summary

Lead scope and end-to-end ownership.

Operating at senior level with lead-level ownership across 3 production applications and 7-8 shared libraries.

Built a microfrontend monorepo with reusable i18n, shared UI, and shared business logic across 28 languages.

Reduced bundle size by 3x while improving the structure and reuse of the shared frontend platform.

Can take a product area from architecture to AWS delivery and production support without handoffs.

Selected Work

Systems I built and owned.

Monorepo and Microfrontend Platform

Created and curated the monorepo for product microfrontends, with reusable platform modules, shared i18n across 28 languages, and a cleaner foundation for scaling teams and features.

White-Label and Design System

Separated branding from business logic with a unified design system and a scalable white-label model for assets, themes, and product presentation.

Editor Platform on TipTap

Built and maintained a full text editor on TipTap with custom product workflows, complex content behavior, and extensions tailored to product needs.

Fullstack SSR Application

Built a React and NestJS application from scratch with custom SSR, shared contracts, and a lean page delivery model for public-facing experiences.

AWS Delivery Platform

Built and maintained the delivery layer for frontend applications in AWS, including selective monorepo deployments and end-to-end ownership from build pipelines to production rollout.

Sustainable Frontend Architecture

Structured large product areas so the frontend stayed scalable, understandable, and maintainable as the system, team, and feature set kept growing.

Impact

Signals that matter in production.

Product Scale

Built and maintained frontend systems used across a product with a customer base close to one million.

White-Label Platform

Built a brand-agnostic theming layer with configurable tokens and assets, making white-label rollout scalable instead of manual.

Delivery Ownership

Owned delivery from code to production, including AWS infrastructure and selective monorepo deployments based on changed modules.

Editor Migration

Led the DraftJS to TipTap migration with full visual compatibility and data migration, allowing the old editor stack to be fully retired.

Leadership

How I operate in product teams.

Led 3 engineers directly and coordinated with QA, designers, and a project manager.

Acted as both formal and technical lead for the owned product area.

Made technical direction decisions for the product area and the supporting library ecosystem.

Presented internal architecture, CI/CD, and subdomain structure to the wider company.

Introduced stronger delivery practices, including SCRUM routines and clearer epic and task specifications.

Mentored engineers through 1:1s, presentations, and retrospectives, helping them become more autonomous and proactive.
