What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build frontend product surfaces for real-time, AI, and developer platforms, combining hands-on React and TypeScript delivery with mentoring, clear engineering practices, and end-to-end ownership.

At Napster, I led a team of three across the Companion API SDK, admin control plane, developer documentation, and Napster Music UI.

I owned a published npm SDK for embedding real-time conversational AI avatars over WebRTC, shipping session persistence across page navigations and cross-domain framing to open multi-page commerce and marketing use cases.

I built self-serve onboarding and billing with organisation, project and API-key provisioning, Stripe checkout, credit balances, and auto-recharge. I also cut build time from five minutes to one through a CRA-to-Vite migration and typed OpenAPI clients.

Previously at Touchcast, I migrated legacy Angular and jQuery products to React, built a shared component library, and delivered real-time streaming features. I reduced page load time by 40% while strengthening accessibility, testing, and cross-browser quality.
