What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build thoughtful, accessible products from early ideas through production, owning frontend architecture while working closely with product and design. I value teams that use AI pragmatically, maintain high engineering standards, and encourage continuous learning.

At Diagrid, I brought Catalyst, an enterprise workflow orchestration and AI agents platform built on Dapr, from idea to production. I led its frontend, designed its UI, built a shared React component system, and created a workflow visualizer that supported customer-winning demos while rendering thousands of live nodes responsively.

I've also led frontend architecture for Jetstack Secure Platform, built high-traffic property search experiences at Purplebricks, and owned frontend, UX research, and testing for banking-sector products at Phoebus Software. Across these roles, I've improved performance, introduced automated testing, built design systems, and mentored engineers into frontend work.

Having started in design, I approach engineering through the whole product: architecture, accessibility, UX, and delivery. I use AI to explore ideas and move faster, while keeping maintainable standards, thoughtful testing, and strong user experiences at the centre of my work.
