I build performant, scalable web applications with Vue, React, Node.js, and TypeScript.

At Tightly, I build Vue 3 and TypeScript product experiences, including a Claude-powered in-app assistant with streamed insights, generated charts, and reliable error boundaries. I also maintain a 35+ component design system, improve data freshness with TanStack Query cache invalidation, and use Datadog and analytics to understand application reliability and feature usage.

Previously at Augmency, I improved web and AR video-conferencing performance through code splitting, lazy loading, Vue 3 migration, and a LiveKit streaming migration that reduced latency and improved frame rates. I also bring Node.js, PostgreSQL, Unity, C#, and engineering analysis experience from game development and R&D work at Turkish Technic.
