What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own frontend architecture for scalable SaaS, raise accessibility standards, and build AI-powered workflows into real products—while mentoring engineers and improving developer experience with clean, maintainable code.

I’m a Senior Frontend Architect with 15+ years of experience building scalable SaaS platforms, enterprise web applications, and cross-platform mobile products across fintech, edtech, cybersecurity, and healthcare. I focus on clean code, web accessibility (a11y), and developer experience, while driving architectural decisions that help teams ship with confidence.

As Founding Engineer at Cone, I architected and built multiple SaaS products from 0→1—like a Proposal-to-Payment platform, Work Management tool, and Customer Portal—used by hundreds of SMB clients. I established the entire frontend engineering function (tooling, CI/CD, coding standards, and design-system foundations) and collaborated directly with founders to reduce design-to-ship cycle by ~40%. I also introduced serverless architecture on Vercel to significantly cut infrastructure costs versus traditional VM deployments.

My work is also shaped by AI engineering: I pioneered a Cursor-centered workflow (alongside Claude and Codex) that enabled >90% of production code to be AI-assisted, accelerating delivery without compromising quality. I’ve engineered AI-powered workflows directly into products—integrating LLM capabilities to enhance user-facing features and automate internal processes—and led accessibility compliance to WCAG 2.1 during a micro-frontend Angular migration for millions of K-12 students.
