What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and improve production web or mobile products, especially where I can take ownership of unfinished work, turn user feedback into features, and help set practical technical direction.

I've taken stalled SaaS and mobile projects across the finish line at The Interactive Abode, owning the Closeout and Warranty app after handoff and maintaining shared Firebase-backed client deployments. I build responsive frontend systems with React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, and Expo, while managing releases to the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Previously at Halight, I built AWS Lambda authentication integrations, expanded LMS features, and led daily Scrum for an international remote development team. I also independently built CAFI Student Portal end to end, including its Node.js, Express, MongoDB, React Native, Expo, and Next.js stack.
