What I'm looking for

I want to build real-time trading/FinTech UIs, lead frontend architecture, and deliver high-quality, clean-code experiences with exceptional UX—collaborating closely with product and UX teams using React/Node and data-driven iteration.

I’m a results-driven frontend engineer with 16+ years of experience building scalable web applications and trading platforms across Capital Markets and FinTech/Crypto. I’m known for clean code, exceptional UX, and delivering complex features on time through strong architecture and cross-functional collaboration.

Most recently, I led UI architecture for a crypto trading platform supporting multi-chain asset management and real-time trading operations across 20+ asset types. I built a real-time trading dashboard with Socket.IO for sub-second latency, and developed a high-performance trade blotter and order management experience using AG Grid for filtering and managing large volumes of transactions.

I also focus on product-level outcomes and leadership. At Enable Data, I designed and delivered a Visual ETL Workflow Creator that lets non-technical users compose SQL-based pipelines via a graphical drag-and-drop experience. Earlier, at Persistent Systems, I architected “Survey Optimizer,” reduced survey creation time by 35% through UI/UX redesign, and led teams from design through production.

My roots go deep into trading systems and reliability, including work on Valdi, a real-time pre-trade risk engine, plus FIX gateway and compliance-friendly integrations. I’ve consistently migrated and modernized UIs—such as moving legacy interfaces to React—while grounding solutions in system design, quality deliverables, and maintainable frontend foundations.
