What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience in building fast, user-focused web applications. My expertise lies in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js, where I have honed my skills in frontend architecture and performance. I am known for writing clean code, mentoring teammates, and delivering features that make a real impact. My passion for intuitive design drives me to create tools that empower users and teams, and I thrive in fast-paced environments where clean UX and rapid value delivery are paramount.
At Smartsheet, I crafted dynamic UI modules for WorkApps, enabling non-dev teams at over 1,000 companies to launch tools without engineering lift. I significantly improved data table rendering performance by 60% and designed a shared component system that reduced redundant frontend code by 70%. My role involved integrating Smartsheet with Slack and Microsoft Teams, streamlining CI/CD automation, and mentoring junior engineers to align frontend strategy with product goals.
Previously, I played a key role at CVS Health, where I built the frontend for the COVID-19 Scheduler, supporting over 40 million appointments. I refined the UX of MinuteClinic check-in, increasing user satisfaction scores significantly. My experience at Amazon included redesigning the primary retail landing experience, leading to a 14% increase in click-through rates. I am committed to continuous improvement and delivering high-quality software solutions.
