What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading frontend efforts—building accessible design systems, mentoring teams, and improving developer experience within collaborative, UX-driven organizations.

I am a lead frontend developer with deep experience building accessible, component-based design systems and modern web applications using React, Angular, Vue, and related ecosystems. I have led frontend efforts, created Design Language Systems with style tokens, built Storybook documentation, produced proofs of concept, and mentored junior engineers across multi-vendor teams.

I have a strong background integrating frontend stacks with backend services (Java/Spring Boot, Ruby on Rails), migrating legacy applications to modern frameworks, and improving developer experience through tooling, linters, testing, and refactoring. I prioritize collaboration with UX/UI designers and architects to deliver inclusive, maintainable products that scale.
