What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior full‑stack or front‑end roles building high-performance e-commerce and consumer web apps in collaborative, product-driven teams, with opportunities to lead UX/frontend initiatives, mentor engineers, and deliver scalable solutions.

I am a results-driven senior software engineer with deep experience in full-stack and front-end development for e-commerce, consumer-facing, and enterprise systems. I build scalable, high-impact solutions using modern stacks like React, Next.js, AWS, PHP, and PostgreSQL.

Throughout my career I have delivered public-facing sites and admin platforms, leveraged AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and testing frameworks like Jest to improve code quality, and consulted for clients including Microsoft, Intel, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and multiple universities.

I have led cross-functional teams and UX initiatives—launching e-commerce platforms for numerous properties, establishing a design system workflow, and developing predictive analytics proofs-of-concept—while continuing long-term freelance and contract work focused on reliable, user-centered web experiences.
