I build fast, accessible React and Vue interfaces for healthcare, e-commerce, defense, and SaaS products.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've built clinical decision-support tools at MCG Health and high-performance, personalized web experiences at REI. My work spans Vue 3, React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and complex consumer and enterprise UI systems.
At MCG Health, I built AI-assisted admission tools integrated with Epic and Cerner workflows, helping clinicians validate EHR-matched guidelines. At REI, I helped improve First Contentful Paint by 60%, co-architected an Akamai EdgeWorkers personalization system, and supported analytics processing tens of millions of events.
I'm currently taking on frontend consulting work and building full-stack side projects, including CryptoLens, a real-time cryptocurrency tracker.
