Unpopular truth: Your frontend is silently killing your conversion rate.
I've worked across 10+ products as a Senior Frontend Engineer.
Here's what I keep seeing in 2026:
❌ Beautiful Figma designs → clunky, slow implementation
❌ $500K/year dev teams → shipping features that break on mobile
❌ Founders asking "why aren't users converting?" — the answer is almost always UX + performance
The 3 frontend trends reshaping product success right now:
Performance IS the product
Google's Core Web Vitals directly impact SEO rankings.
A 1-second delay in load time = 7% drop in conversions.
This is not theory — it's your revenue.
AI-assisted development is raising the bar
Companies using AI tools ship 2x faster.
But only if their codebase is structured to support it.
Messy architecture + AI = messy code, faster.
Component-driven design systems are non-negotiable
Teams without a design system spend 40% of dev time on inconsistency.
That's time not spent on features that grow your business.
I help startups and scale-ups close these gaps — fast.
Whether you need a full frontend overhaul, a performance audit, or a senior hand on a critical build — I'm available for contract work.

With Norvo mostly built and moving into testing beta testing. Its was time to start on the website and marketing assets.
This always takes more time than people think. I always position the product before I even build the platform, then throughout development, I let that positioning refine and become clearer, so when it's time to design assets, I know exactly where to start.
GTM when there are already established competitors in that space makes life much easier. As a user of other products, I know the limitations and missed opportunities, I can improve my stack to be more efficient and better value, even cheaper. I can focus on those differentiators and explore new ways of connecting to Framer from onboarding, all the way through the product.
🥕 We still have a few seats left for testers, so if you are a Framer designer for client work or templates and want a free lifetime account to help us test, let me know below 😊
Looks awesome! I tried to view the home page but after Googling, link I clicked took me to: https://dashboard.norvo.app/sign-in and unfortunately it doesn't look possible to view a homepage without signing up or am I missing something ;)

Norvo — The SaaS engine for Framer
Norvo is the SaaS engine for Framer designers — add authentication, billing, gated content, and user management to any Framer site without writing backend code.
Try Verity is an AI-powered interview coaching platform that creates realistic interview simulations based on a candidate's actual resume and target job description.
For this challenge, I used Google Stitch as the center of a real product redesign workflow.
Instead of building a mockup from scratch, I imported screenshots from the existing product, generated redesigned interfaces, and used Stitch to transform those concepts into production-ready UI code.
My workflow:
• Existing Try Verity screens → AI redesign mockups
• Mockups imported into Google Stitch
• Stitch-generated UI and front-end structure
• Implementation and integration using Codex
• Integration into the real application
The goal was not to create a prototype, but to modernize an existing product while preserving functionality, workflows, and business logic.
The redesign covered the landing page, interview workspace, recruiter feedback experience, reporting dashboard, pricing pages, and onboarding flow.
Key improvements:
• Complete landing page redesign
• Interview workspace redesign
• Recruiter-style feedback experience
• Modern SaaS visual language
• Improved information hierarchy
• Better usability and readability
• Enterprise-grade UI patterns
Tools used:
• Google Stitch
• ChatGPT
• Codex
• Next.js
• React
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS

Google Stitch became the bridge between visual exploration and implementation, allowing me to iterate much faster than a traditional design-to-development workflow.
Thanks to the Google Stitch team for building tools that make interface iteration dramatically faster.
Looks cool
No gradients. No hype.
Just a signal mark, a serif, and one rule:
infrastructure deserves to be premium.
