What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build design-driven products end-to-end—where engineers own UX, performance matters, and teams value fast, fluid, invisible interactions. I want work that blends prototyping, UI design, and data-informed decision-making.

I’m a Staff Product Engineer with 15+ years of experience as both designer and engineer. I bring strong design judgment and full-stack engineering to build products that feel fast, fluid, and invisible—delivering “buttery interactions” and performance-first experiences across the JavaScript ecosystem.

Recently, I’ve been building the future of onchain social prediction markets at Ponder Labs. Previously, I designed and prototyped next-gen connected driving experiences at Toyota Connected, created a powerbank rental experience at ChargedUp, and built web grocery delivery and large-scale donation platforms as a Senior Frontend Engineer—pairing UX writing, prototyping, and UI design with modern engineering (Next.js/React/TypeScript and Node/Postgres).
