What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers growth opportunities.

I am a seasoned Frontend Lead at HumanFirst.ai, where I have been instrumental in leading a dynamic frontend team in the innovative development of web applications. With over 7 years of experience in frontend development, I have successfully spearheaded the creation of our flagship product, HumanFirst Studio, while scaling design and frontend teams to meet growing engineering demands. My role has evolved to encompass product management, allowing me to collaborate closely with our CEO to drive product vision and strategy.

Prior to my current position, I honed my skills at Intel Corporation, where I contributed to product development for various platforms, including desktop and browser extensions. My journey in web development began with freelance projects, where I provided consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses, helping them establish a strong online presence through website creation, CRM integration, and SEO management. My diverse experience has equipped me with a robust skill set and a deep understanding of both frontend technologies and product management.
