Frontend Product Engineer

Anna Montero

I build frontend products with React, Next.js, and MUI, from early proofs of concept to dashboards and CMS-driven pages in production.

About

From Figma to production

I'm a frontend engineer based in Dubai. The part of the work I enjoy most sits between design and engineering: taking designs from Figma and building them into production interfaces.

I like working closely with designers and backend teammates, handling the edge cases, and shipping in small steps.

Experience

3+ years shipping production interfaces

Highlights from my current role.

  • Proof-of-concept ownership

    Often given early proof-of-concept work, which I enjoy: I explore the idea, build it end to end, then hand it off to the team.

  • Cross-functional delivery

    Took new products from Figma handoff to first release, working day to day with design, QA, backend, and DevOps.

  • Content systems & internal tools

    Shipped CMS-driven pages, a public developer docs portal, and internal back-office dashboards.

  • Real-time UI

    Built WebSocket-driven sections and data grids that update without a page reload.

    Interval Walking Timer

    2026

    A timer for Japanese interval walking (3 min fast / 3 min slow). Audio cues on each phase change, screen wake lock, configurable plan, and installable as a PWA. Live cadence detection from phone motion is next.

    Design System + Storybook

    2026

    Shared tokens and a first set of components: Button, TextField, and Badge. Storybook once there's enough to document.

    UI Playground

    2026

    Small interaction details I care about, like press states, focus, and toasts, that I try out before using them in real work.
