What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, high-impact product experiences with React and TypeScript, collaborate closely across Product, Design, and Backend, and improve quality through thoughtful testing, scalable architecture, and mentorship.

At CoLab Software, I build React and TypeScript experiences for AI-powered engineering review workflows, including AutoReview, Refine Review Chat, integration settings, and API-key management.

I led a testing-pyramid quality strategy that replaced brittle E2E coverage with integration-level validation and targeted unit tests. I also work closely with Product, Design, and Backend teams to scope milestones, improve API quality, and deliver major launches without production hot-fixes.

Previously at Samsung Ads, I led a Knockout.js-to-React migration, raised test coverage to 95%, and helped reduce production bugs by 50%. I mentored junior developers, won two company-wide hackathons, and received the Samsung Ads Excellence Award in 2023.
