What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team that values AI-native shipping, production React/Next.js engineering, and strong design systems—where I can build agentic workflows with real-world UX polish and maintainable architecture.

I’m a front-end engineer and founder who builds production React/Next.js applications using Claude Code as a primary engineering partner. At Augmented Hype, I shipped multi-tenant products like OutboundOS—an operating system with a live financial dashboard, per-client economics, and a modular SOP layer—and Ghost AI, an agentic outbound pipeline with approval-gated automation.

I care deeply about scalable UI fundamentals: I designed shared component libraries and design tokens across products, and I maintained high standards for typography, spacing, and premium UX. As a Front-End Developer for Razer, I built TypeScript-driven React and Next.js interfaces for e-commerce surfaces, product pages, and interactive modules, keeping design system consistency across a large-scale codebase.
