At UnitedAirlines, I lead frontend engineering for customer and operations applications. I reduced initial route load time by 38% and built a shared Angular component library with documented usage patterns.

I work across responsive interface delivery, REST API integration, and production support. I also improved application availability to 99.95% by strengthening client-side error reporting and coordinating fixes across service boundaries.

Previously, I delivered frontend features at Deloitte, Antra, and Fortira. Across those roles, I improved page or interaction performance, developed reusable UI patterns, and supported testing and releases for web applications.
