What I'm looking for

I seek senior frontend or architecture roles where I can lead product-focused engineering, mentor teams, and deliver scalable, UX-driven web platforms with modern toolchains.

I am a principal frontend engineer with extensive experience building scalable, maintainable web platforms using React and TypeScript. I have led migrations from legacy UIs, owned shared component libraries, and improved release velocity through modern tooling.

I have founded a startup and shipped full-stack products, including an AI-driven document collaboration platform, ComposeIQ, integrating ChatGPT and LangChain for advanced content generation. I also built features for high-interaction workflows using MobX, Zustand, and complex data visualizations with D3.js and React Flow.

I have contributed to education and healthcare SaaS products, spearheading migrations, upgrades, and accessibility initiatives, and delivering performance improvements across consumer and enterprise platforms. I collaborate closely with PM, design, and backend teams to execute UX initiatives and integration contracts.

I am pragmatic about architecture and developer experience, using Nx, Lerna, Webpack, GitLab CI, and Kubernetes to streamline builds and deployments, and I mentor teams on best practices while driving product-focused engineering outcomes.
