Why Work With Me?

I build interfaces that users “get” on the first tap

Shipping React/TypeScript experiences for nearly 5 years—fast, accessible, and production-ready.

AI is part of how I build—not a bolt-on

Cursor and Claude Code in the daily loop, plus internal AI tooling I shipped that cut 4–7 hour tasks to 5 minutes.

Performance and UX aren’t trade-offs—I chase both

From Lighthouse-focused builds to trimming legacy UI cost in regulated stacks; measurable gains beat vibes.

I bridge design intent with resilient frontend architecture

Comfortable in Figma, fluent in component APIs—fewer hand-off surprises and cleaner iteration loops.

I ship like someone responsible for the next refactor too

Documentation (Storybook, Confluence), testing-minded workflows, and clear tickets—not silent shortcuts.

Stylized 3D trophy, wrench, and gear on a pedestal
