   Senior React.js Front-End Web Developer

   Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia

   • Design and deliver scalable React/TypeScript solutions for enterprise applications, with emphasis on reusable architecture, maintainability and a consistent user experience.
   • Designed a micro-frontend monorepo proof of concept using Vite and Module Federation, so independently developed modules ship inside one cohesive application, each with its own standalone dev, build and test workflow.
   • Implemented typed, schema-driven contracts with Zod for cross-module communication and shared state.
   • Standardised UI delivery on the internal React component library, from primitives to forms, panels, tabs, accordions, tables, modals and a Form Renderer.
   • Built a file-based routing approach inspired by Next.js to cut React Router boilerplate, and reusable Stencil.js web components used inside React apps.
   • Built AI-focused POCs: a reusable AI chat widget and an AI-assisted form that maps natural-language prompts into validated structured values.
