Most frontend performance problems are not caused by just React.
After working on Enterprise product for 7+ years, I have noticed that teams generally, blame the framework when the real problems are elsewhere.
A few improvements that consistently make a difference-
1. Reduce unnecessary re renders of components
2. Optimize bundle size and code splitting through your best bundler.
3. Lazy load heavy components
4. Avoid over fetching data on the componet
5. Measure Core Web Vitals before optimizing- Must one (I highly recommend)
On one platform serving 2.3M+ users, these improvements helped reduce page load time from 12s to 4s.
Performance is not about just writing smart code, its about making the right engineering decisions while scaling the product.
Below is the one which scaled and gets lots of improvment from inital one.

Hidden 3D interaction behind a header menu button.
A traditional Vietnamese phin coffee filter and coffee beans revealed through a shader-based reveal with the phin going from assembled to disassembled parts and the beans going in helix path around it.
Few mouse interactions: slight parallax on the phin, light following the cursor, and the beans have physics to push them around. Post-processing and steady 60fps thanks to three.js. The scene (1.5 MB of assets) loading is deferred to not block the page loading/main thread since it's not visible without user interaction.

FLVR is a fruit snack brand with a bold, single-ingredient product story,: "An entirely new fruit snack, made of fruit." I designed and built their website to match that same energy: clean, confident, and premium.
The site features smooth scroll interactions (powered by Lenis), scroll-triggered reveals (GSAP + ScrollTrigger), and a minimal, product-first layout that puts the brand's simplicity front and center no clutter, just clean typography and purposeful motion.
Key focus areas:
Smooth scroll experience for a premium, app-like feel
Scroll-triggered animations to guide attention section by section
Responsive design fully optimized across devices
Fast load times despite rich animation (performance-first approach)
Clean, minimal UI that reflects the brand's "one ingredient" philosophy
Tools used: Vanilla JavaScript, GSAP, ScrollTrigger, Lenis (smooth scroll)
This project reflects the kind of work I love doing taking a brand's core identity and translating it into an interactive, trustworthy website experience that doesn't just look good, but feels intentional at every scroll.
Hi Averro, lovely design overall!
One thing I might change from a UX perspective: having a hamburger menu on desktop, where there's plenty of room to show all the navigation links, only creates friction. Even though it looks nice and feels like a great feature, it makes the user take more steps to access the link they want.
