What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior-level front-end or UX-focused roles at organizations that prioritize accessibility, scalable component systems, mentorship opportunities, and cloud-native practices.

I am a senior front-end developer with 15+ years delivering accessible, enterprise-scale applications for leading Canadian financial and telecom brands. I specialize in building reusable component systems, improving accessibility at scale, and shipping production-ready front-end solutions.

I've led accessibility remediation projects that resolved 300+ compliance issues across multiple sites in 90 days and created component systems adopted by 40+ developers across eight business units. My work reduces legal and operational risk for high-traffic properties and improves developer efficiency.

I combine front-end engineering (HTML5, CSS3/SASS/LESS, JavaScript/TypeScript, Angular, React) with testing and QA practices (Selenium, Jest, Karma, ReadyAPI) and an increasing focus on cloud-native architectures and UX design.

I am actively expanding into cloud and UX-focused roles through AWS Cloud Architect and Google UX certifications while pursuing senior development opportunities where I can mentor teams, drive accessibility-first solutions, and contribute to scalable design systems.
