Full Stack Engineer | React, Node.js, TypeScript | Fast-moving startups | UX-focused builder

United States

I’m a Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, user-friendly applications across React, Node.js, and TypeScript. I’ve worked across early-stage startups and growth companies, often as the first or only front-end engineer, where I’ve taken ownership of end-to-end features, improved developer infrastructure, and mentored junior engineers.

I’m passionate about building clean, intuitive UIs and solving hard problems with thoughtful engineering. My recent work includes building AI-assisted workflows for sustainability reporting, optimizing performance for complex forms and dashboards, and refactoring authentication and Storybook infrastructure to support developer velocity.

Outside of work, I love exploring developer tools, collaborating on cross-functional teams, and working on projects that have meaningful impact—whether that’s in climate tech, healthcare, or productivity. I thrive in fast-moving environments where I can learn quickly, make an impact, and help scale products from early MVP to maturity.

Looking for remote-friendly teams where I can grow as an engineer and help ship great products.
