At Tiger Data (Timescale), I led the end-to-end migration from Webpack to Vite, making CI builds over 6× faster while lowering infrastructure costs and speeding up local development.

I lead design-system development across Tiger Cloud and TimescaleDB Enterprise, working with Design and Engineering on shared tokens and components. I’m building a shared React Aria and Tailwind library, along with agent-assisted engineering tooling using Storybook MCP.

At Plum Guide, I led the move to Next.js micro-frontends in a monorepo, improving conversion across the customer journey and enabling independent deployments. I also raised the Lighthouse performance score from 30 to 80 and introduced a GraphQL API to consolidate REST requests.

Alongside full-time roles, I’ve built customer and business interfaces for projects including Pillr, TheSix, Podback, and Fell & Scar. Earlier, at Bright Pixel, I helped build dott.pt’s core React and Redux architecture, and at EAE and Monday I built product frontends and responsive campaign websites.
