What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-focused role where I can combine front-end engineering with UI/UX and product ownership—working end-to-end on features, running discovery, and shipping experiences that feel right and scale.

I design, build, and ship web apps, bringing 10+ years of front-end experience and strong UI/UX design thinking. I work across the full product lifecycle and understand both the product and engineering sides of the conversation.

Most recently, I’ve been solo-founder of Neku, a visual writing workspace for fiction writers—handling everything from product strategy and UI/UX design to full-stack engineering and go-to-market. Before that, I spent 3 years at Sitecore as an Associate Product Manager, partnering with designers, developers, and other product managers to shape and deliver Marketplace growth.

Across my engineering roles, I’ve led UI/UX direction, built reusable components documented in Storybook, and maintained strong unit test coverage while collaborating through Agile/Scrum. I’m motivated by work that “works well and feels right,” and I enjoy turning discovery and user needs into polished, scalable interfaces.
