Senior full-stack engineer focused on scalable, frontend-led UIs.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years building frontend-leaning full-stack applications for SaaS, AI, and healthcare products. I specialize in delivering scalable, high-performance user interfaces and solving complex frontend challenges like real-time data rendering and state management.
At Notion I built core frontend flows for Notion Mail and integrated AI features—improving team workflows and enabling thousands of beta users to manage email with AI assistance. I engineered token-streaming UIs and optimized rendering pipelines to reduce editor latency and enhance responsiveness.
Previously at Viz.ai and Yeti I developed clinician-facing 3D imaging dashboards, real-time IoT visualizations, and reusable component libraries, cutting dashboard latency and improving clinical decision-making. I also engineered HIPAA-compliant APIs and collaborated closely with clinicians, product, and design teams to iterate on usable, accessible interfaces.
I mentor engineers, drive cross-functional collaboration, and emphasize accessible, user-centered design while delivering production-quality features at global scale. I seek roles where I can lead frontend architecture, ship AI-driven user experiences, and grow engineering teams through mentorship and best practices.
