What I'm looking for

I am seeking frontend roles where I can build high-performance, accessible web experiences, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and grow technically while improving delivery processes.

I am a frontend engineer with 5+ years building responsive, accessible, and performance-focused web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. I deliver scalable, user-friendly products and enjoy solving complex technical challenges.

At Envoy and prior roles I led frontend efforts for high-traffic marketing sites and commerce applications, integrated with WordPress, Contentful, Shopify, and contributed to backend APIs and AWS deployments. I improved load times, accessibility, and reliability through architecture design, testing (Cypress, Jest), and process improvements.

I collaborate closely with designers and cross-functional teams in Agile environments, streamline design-to-development workflows with Figma, and adopt modern tooling such as ShadCN, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI APIs to accelerate delivery and maintain high code quality.
