What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role focused on frontend leadership and UX-first engineering, prioritizing accessibility, performance, and scalable UI architecture in collaborative, product-driven teams.

I’m a Senior UI Engineer and experience builder who designs and ships accessible, performant web applications for enterprise and broadcast clients. I focus on modern CSS architecture, progressive rendering, and WCAG compliance to uplift legacy systems.

I’ve led refactors and re-architected multiple long-lived projects—revamping CSS for an 18-year-old CRM, converting legacy Angular and jQuery apps to React + TypeScript, and implementing micro-frontends and reusable npm packages to standardize functionality across products.

I teach web development as a visiting lecturer and serve as an Associate Technical Lead — Frontend, bringing practical leadership, strong attention to accessibility (WCAG/WAI-ARIA), and a developer-first approach to building experiences that work for humans and scale for teams.
