What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build across the stack—shipping reliable products, improving performance, and partnering with engineers and teams to turn requirements into dependable outcomes with strong testing and instrumentation.

I’m a full-stack engineer with 5 years of experience building internal tools and consumer-facing applications, APIs, enterprise systems, and e-commerce solutions. I bring a practical, delivery-focused approach and I collaborate effectively across technical and cross-functional teams.

At ShipEngine (Auctane), I helped build and scale the Elements component library and tool suite—integrating shipping label features for standardized orders and one-off shipments. I improved build performance and reduced bundle size, built AWS + Terraform infrastructure for CDN-based distribution, and strengthened developer feedback loops by modernizing legacy tests.

I’ve also owned key platform stability and performance work on WhiteLabel with PayPal, led a TypeScript/Node.js tooling and QA uplift with stronger end-to-end coverage and Sentry instrumentation, and supported Kubernetes operations during outages. Earlier, I developed a Swift-based Apple CarPlay app and built React Native / web experiences across quizzes, theming tools, and customer support chat plugins.
