At Plus One Robotics, I'm migrating React applications to Vite and Vitest, cutting local startup time by 75% and CI/CD execution time by 33%.

I build production systems for hundreds of robots, including a PostgreSQL-to-Elasticsearch alarm-data pipeline and REST APIs replacing a legacy GraphQL telemetry service.

I've also supported secure, reliable infrastructure across GitLab, Kubernetes, Google Cloud, PostgreSQL, and internal applications by managing credentials, secrets, cluster access, and cloud configurations.

As a freelance front-end developer, I improved WordPress site structure and SEO to increase organic traffic by 65%, migrated static sites to maintainable CMS platforms, and integrated donation and event systems that increased online donations by 35%.
