Paulo Agustin T.

Front-End Developer | Figma Designer | React (Next) | Vue (Nuxt)

💻 10 Years Experience Senior Front-End Engineer ✏️ 7 Years Design Experience 🌐 paulotrajano.me ✅ Frontend development web apps & Saas using React / Next.js and Vue / Nuxt ✅ Traditional development or AI-assisted agentic workflows using Anthropic Claude Code ✅ Landing page design and development from wireframe to production ✅ Interactive websites with GSAP animations, smooth scrolling, scroll triggers, and micro-interactions ✅ UI/UX design in Figma including: UI design systems, High-fidelity prototypes, User flows, UX enhancements ✅ Figma Weave ✅ CMS development using Shopify and Framer ✅ Brand direction support including iconography and logo design 🔥 Background: I’m a Senior Front-End Engineer with over 10 years of experience building modern web applications, specializing in Vue.js, TypeScript, and scalable UI architecture. With an additional 8+ years in UI/UX and branding, I offer a rare hybrid perspective that bridges the gap between high-level design and robust engineering. I work with an AI-driven development workflow, leveraging tools like AI agents, code generation, and design-to-code systems to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and rapidly prototype ideas while maintaining strong engineering standards, performance, and scalability. 🔥 Notable Capabilities: ✅ AI-Augmented Development - I leverage Claude Code and advanced AI tooling to dramatically accelerate development cycles. This allows me to prototype rapidly, refactor complex logic with precision, and deliver production-ready features faster without sacrificing code quality. ✅ Design-to-Code Mastery - I don't just "implement" designs; I own the full frontend lifecycle. From architecting design systems in Figma to writing clean, maintainable code, I ensure every pixel serves a functional purpose. ✅ From Employee #0 to Leadership - I previously joined a US-based startup as the first hire, building the initial proof-of-concept from the ground up. Over 8 years, I scaled with the company into an Engineering Manager, leading frontend teams while remaining hands-on with product architecture and UI systems. 🔥 Technical Stack: ✅ Frameworks: Vue.js (Nuxt), Next.js (React), TypeScript ✅ Styling & Tooling: Tailwind CSS, Modern Bundlers, Figma ✅ Workflow: AI-driven development (Claude Code) for rapid iteration and optimized performance. If you’re looking for a partner who can design, architect, and build polished web applications from concept to production at a highly efficient pace, I’d love to help bring your project to life.
