What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead and build web products where I can translate technical constraints into product decisions, ship secure features, improve delivery process, and collaborate cross-functionally to reduce manual work.

I’m a web developer and technical lead with 4+ years of professional experience bridging engineering and business teams. I introduced scrum to an 8-person team with no formal delivery process, gathered requirements from labor law sources and C-level stakeholders, and closed a compliance gap by implementing a centralized ClickUp HR workflow.

I’ve shipped internal tools and customer-facing features that measurably reduce manual work—like a Form-to-PDF purchase order generator cutting processing time by 75% and an end-to-end encryption approach meeting client security requirements in MongoDB. I also leverage Playwright (Page Object Models) for E2E testing, built D3 data visualizations that increased engagement by 50%, and help translate technical constraints into product decisions through specs, stakeholder management, and backlog prioritization.

Salvaged and refactored a left-incomplete back-office codebase to restore functionality for a growing global platform. Fixed frontend authentication to send correct auth headers, achieving 100% RBAC coverage on API endpoints via OpenID, and improved a content reporting workflow that increased content reviews and removals.
