What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build complex product UI, reusable component systems, and workflow-heavy SaaS experiences with React, TypeScript, and Next.js. I value close product and design collaboration, thoughtful modernization, strong quality practices, and remote async delivery.

I've led frontend architecture for Broker Online Exchange and AppDirect's B2B energy-brokerage SaaS, spanning CRM, quoting, contracts, dashboards, and document workflows. I set React patterns, component standards, and design-system direction while mentoring engineers and shipping customer-facing product work.

At Phosphene, I own product design, frontend architecture, typed API boundaries, billing, deployment, and observability for a live AI image product. I build workflow-heavy editor experiences with long-running jobs, retries, failure recovery, usage limits, and clear human-readable errors.

Across 10+ years, I've turned product and design requirements into responsive, accessible interfaces using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Vue. I work closely with product and design teams, modernize mature codebases incrementally, and use AI coding tools with deliberate human review.
