Right now I lead the frontend at Webulon Labs — a Swiss recruitment platform built on Nuxt 4 and TypeScript against a GraphQL API.

Before that: a marketplace and CRM for one of Kazakhstan's largest electronics retailers, and an agritech super app where I ran the Vue 2 → Nuxt 3 migration and built the geospatial interface.
