What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role where I can lead frontend architecture, mentor engineers, and build scalable, user-focused web platforms with strong testing and CI/CD practices.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with eight years building web applications, specializing in frontend development with strong backend capabilities. I design and implement user-focused interfaces and reusable component libraries while collaborating closely with design and product teams.

At Bestow I architected a real-time underwriting platform using React and TypeScript, built data visualizations and dashboards, implemented state management with Redux and React Query, and created REST and GraphQL APIs with Node.js and FastAPI integrations. I also introduced automated testing, feature flagging, and performance optimizations to improve reliability and delivery.

I bring a broad backend and cloud skillset—Node.js, Python, Java, AWS, Docker, CI/CD—and a commitment to testing, accessibility, and technical leadership. I enjoy mentoring engineers and driving cross-functional efforts to deliver scalable, maintainable products.
