United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a seasoned software engineer, I specialize in front-end web technologies and user experience design. My journey in tech has equipped me with a robust skill set, including TypeScript, JavaScript, React.js, and Next.js, allowing me to create seamless and engaging user interfaces. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions that meet user needs.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that not only enhance user experience but also drive business results. At Censys, I completed a critical frontend feature for an integrations marketplace ahead of schedule, directly contributing to key customer deals. My experience mentoring junior developers and engaging with backend teams to define specifications has honed my leadership skills and deepened my understanding of the software development lifecycle.
I am passionate about continuous learning and staying updated with the latest industry trends. My goal is to leverage my technical expertise and collaborative spirit to contribute to innovative projects that prioritize user experience and drive organizational success.
