At Catenda, I contribute to Catenda Hub, a cloud-based BIM collaboration platform, building React modules for open BIM workflows, dashboards, and 3D model views. I also designed and built a TypeScript MCP Server that exposes Catenda’s BCF and project APIs to AI tools including Claude Desktop and Claude Code.

I introduced front-end CI/CD pipelines and strengthened code quality through reviews, automated checks, and AI-assisted development practices. I also initiated internal Mastery Hub workshops demonstrating practical uses of Claude Code on production codebases.

At BrandBastion, I designed and built the SaaS interface for an AI-powered social media moderation and analytics platform. I established its React architecture and custom UI kit, and led and mentored a distributed front-end team.

Earlier, I led engineering teams at GlobalLogic and contributed to products at Sketchfab and Videodesk. I’m also co-founding TripOrchestra, where I own the product and technical scope of a B2B travel platform, including its Laravel implementation and RateHawk API integration.
