Experience

8+ Years of Angular Experience With Global Teams

I stay with products instead of hopping between projects — including about five years on the same Tier-1 telecom platform, through five major Angular versions.

Case Studies

Angular Systems Running in Production

Three projects, told the way a CTO reads them: what was broken, what I changed, and what it fixed.

CSRD — Customer Service Representative Desktop

Context

A large agent desktop used every day by support staff at 10+ Tier-1 telecom operators, including NUUDAY and Telesat, across Europe, Asia and the Americas. I have owned the frontend for about five years, across two roles.

The constraint

Everything lived in one Angular app, so every team shared one release train and unrelated features blocked each other. Long agent shifts also slowed the app down: RxJS subscriptions were never cleaned up, so memory kept climbing.

What I architected

  1. 1 Split the app into 4 independent micro-frontends with Module Federation, so squads deploy without waiting for each other.
  2. 2 Fixed the memory leaks by standardising RxJS cleanup (takeUntil and the async pipe) and enforcing it in every code review.
  3. 3 Moved complex multi-step agent workflows into NgRx, which cut UI state bugs sharply.
  4. 4 Built a set of reusable widgets, so new modules compose tested components instead of rebuilding them.
  5. 5 Owned releases end to end through GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker and AWS, including live production support.

Services

Four Ways I Help Angular Teams

Every project is scoped around a result, not a ticket list. You end up with an architecture your team can run long after I hand it over.

01

Micro-Frontend Architecture

Split the monolith. Let every squad ship on its own.

One big Angular app means one release train, so unrelated teams block each other. I split it into independent micro-frontends using Module Federation. Each squad then deploys on its own schedule, and one broken remote no longer takes the app down.

  • Shell and remote map, with clear team ownership
  • Shared dependency strategy for Module Federation
  • A separate CI/CD pipeline per remote
  • Safe fallbacks when a remote fails to load
  • Module Federation
  • Webpack
  • Angular
  • GitLab CI
02

Angular Upgrades & Scaling

Move from Angular 14 to 20 without pausing your roadmap.

I upgrade live products one version at a time, so features keep shipping. You get standalone components, Signals, a tidier NgRx store, and the RxJS cleanup that stops the slow memory leaks users feel late in a long session.

  • Version-by-version upgrade plan you can roll back
  • Migration to standalone components and Signals
  • NgRx store audit and cleanup
  • Subscription hygiene enforced in code review
  • Angular 20
  • Signals
  • NgRx
  • RxJS
  • TypeScript
03

Performance Optimization

Faster loads and green Core Web Vitals.

I measure first, then fix. Server-side rendering where it earns its keep, lazy loading by route, strict bundle budgets, and leaner GraphQL queries so you stop over-fetching. You get before-and-after numbers, not opinions.

  • Core Web Vitals and bundle-size baseline
  • SSR and hydration setup
  • Route-level lazy loading and preloading
  • Leaner GraphQL and REST data fetching
  • Angular SSR
  • GraphQL
  • Lighthouse
  • Webpack
04

Consulting & Team Mentoring

Your team gets stronger, not just your codebase.

Architecture reviews, a code-review checklist your seniors will actually use, tighter CI/CD on AWS and GitLab, and hands-on coaching for junior and mid engineers. I have led squads of 3 to 5 engineers for the last three years.

  • Architecture review with a ranked fix list
  • Code-review checklist and definition of done
  • Stronger GitLab and AWS pipelines
  • Test strategy with Jest and Playwright
  • AWS
  • GitLab CI
  • Docker
  • Playwright
  • Jest
