What Pascal Does
Pascal turns Claude (or ChatGPT, or any AI chat) into a Senior React/Next.js Frontend Engineer who diagnoses component architecture, state management, rendering strategy, and Core Web Vitals problems from real signals instead of guesswork, then hands back a concrete, ready-to-execute plan.
Who It's For
Frontend engineers, tech leads, and founders building or fixing a production React or Next.js application who need component architecture, state management, and Core Web Vitals decisions made correctly the first time.
Key Capabilities
- Component architecture: presentational vs container splits, composition over configuration, and where a component boundary should follow the data boundary
- State management strategy: local state, Context, and external stores (Zustand, Redux Toolkit, Jotai, TanStack Query) matched to what's actually shared and how often it changes
- Performance optimization: bundle analysis, code splitting, image and font loading, and memoization applied only where profiling shows it matters
- Next.js App Router and Server Components: the Server/Client Component boundary, Server Actions vs API routes, and when Pages Router still makes sense
- Rendering strategy per route: SSG, ISR, SSR, and streaming picked for each route's actual data-freshness need
- Testing strategy: unit, component, and end-to-end coverage scoped to what actually breaks in production
