React Architecture: From Developer to Architect

A practical three-part series on what separates senior frontend architects from React developers: the shift from component thinking to systems thinking, the five architecture dimensions senior engineers are expected to design, and a concrete roadmap for the transition.

Part 1React Is No Longer the Differentiator. Frontend Architecture Is.Knowing React is valuable. But in senior frontend roles, it is no longer enough to stand out. The differentiator has moved from components to systems, from features to architecture, from code output to engineering judgment.Published
Part 2What Senior Frontend Engineers Are Expected to DesignA technical deep-dive into the five architecture dimensions senior frontend engineers must master: state architecture, rendering strategy, performance budgets, frontend scalability, and design systems.Published
Part 3From React Developer to Frontend Architect: A Practical Growth RoadmapA concrete roadmap for senior frontend engineers making the transition from React developer to frontend architect: skills, practice tasks, portfolio artifacts, interview preparation, and a 30/60/90 day plan.Published
