What I'm looking for

I seek frontend or full‑stack roles where I can lead frontend architecture, integrate ML features, improve performance and accessibility, and mentor engineers in a collaborative, product-focused team.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience across Apple, Comcast, SVIC and startups, specializing in building scalable, accessible, high-performance web UIs and integrating machine learning features. I deliver clean, testable code and collaborate closely with design and product teams to ship polished experiences.

At Apple I led frontend integration of on-device AI features for Mail and Photos, optimizing Core ML model loading and frontend state to reduce latency by 30% while ensuring WCAG 2.2 AA compliance and robust CI-driven testing. Previously at Comcast I migrated legacy frontends to modern React architectures, improved time-to-interactive by 40%, and delivered AI-driven voice search UI for millions of homes.

I bring hands-on full‑stack experience (React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Core ML), strong testing and CI/CD practices (Jest, Cypress, Playwright, GitHub Actions, Jenkins), and a focus on performance, accessibility, and scalable frontend architecture.
