Interim frontend leadership
Interim Frontend Lead for complex web applications
Your frontend has become large and important, but control has slipped. Features take longer to build, releases feel risky and technical debt keeps piling up. There is a lot of code, but little direction.
As an interim frontend lead I bring the seniority your team needs for a while: overview, architecture and quality. I make technical decisions explicit, restore structure and help the team ship predictably again — without committing to a permanent hire straight away.
When to bring me in
- Your frontend is growing faster than the architecture that supports it.
- Releases have become risky and hard to estimate.
- The team lacks technical direction or a clear point of contact.
- There is plenty of code, but little grip on the whole.
- You want to adopt AI without losing quality and consistency.
- You need senior frontend leadership for a while, not a permanent role yet.
What I bring
Frontend architecture
A clear structure where new features become cheaper to build instead of more expensive.
Hands-on development
I write code myself. Decisions are tested in practice, not just on paper.
Technical decision-making
Choices are made explicit, substantiated and documented — so the team can own them.
Team coaching
I help developers grow, give targeted feedback and raise the level of the team.
Review process & quality standards
Code reviews and clear standards that guard quality on every change.
Test strategy
The right tests at the right level, so refactoring and releasing inspire confidence again.
Component architecture
Reusable, well-bounded components instead of patterns drifting apart.
AI-assisted development workflow
AI as an accelerator, with architecture, review and quality control around it.
Relevant experience
I have 20+ years of frontend experience, 15 of them at Media.Monks, where I grew into the role of Global Frontend Director. In that role I led international frontend teams and owned architecture, quality and standards across projects.
That experience was built on complex React and TypeScript projects: product configurators with deep dependency logic, a high-security communication platform for a government organization, and platforms where architecture made the difference between hitting the deadline or not.
Which teams?
- Product teams
- Scale-ups
- Agencies
- SaaS platforms
- Organizations with complex internal applications
- Teams on React/TypeScript or a comparable frontend stack
The results
- More grip on technical direction.
- Better code quality and more consistent patterns.
- Less risk at release time.
- Faster onboarding of new developers.
- A clearer, better-documented architecture.
- A stronger, more self-reliant team.
