## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build reliable customer-facing products and developer workflows, collaborating with product and design teams while owning delivery across the full stack.
```

## About

```text
I've built multi-region commerce platforms at ROLI, merging two storefronts into one product and owning work from customer-facing flows through backend services.

I shipped onboarding for ROLI's CASIO partnership, integrated Shopify, Stripe, Klarna, and PayPal checkout flows, and built self-service order-history APIs that reduced support tickets. I also parallelised Cypress end-to-end tests in CI/CD, cutting runtime by 80%.

Previously at OLR, I led engineering for HAWK, a data-heavy retail monitoring platform, while mentoring four engineers and managing production deployments. I work across React, Next.js, Node.js, AWS, databases, testing, and AI-assisted developer workflow improvements.
```
