What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can focus on building things that work: clean, maintainable front ends that solve real problems. I do my best work in environments with clear goals and a team that trusts each other. Ideally remote, async-friendly, and modern in both tech and culture. I want to contribute meaningful code, collaborate with people who care, and ship work I can be proud of.

I’m a Senior Front-End Engineer with over 10 years of experience building real-world websites for clients like Marvel Snap, Wizards of the Coast, and the Golden Globes. I’m used to getting vague requirements and turning them into clean, functional sites that actually ship on time.

I’ve rebuilt high-stakes platforms from scratch, including the Marvel Snap marketing site with no access to source code, and modernized large-scale systems like the Wizards Play Network from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3. I’ve worked across stacks with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Vue.

I’m comfortable working independently or with remote teams. I write code that’s maintainable, efficient, and (hopefully) makes life easier for the next person who touches it.
