What I'm looking for

I’m available immediately for remote roles where I can own UI/UX decisions and ship React frontends—scaling component libraries/design systems, improving workflow usability, driving front-end performance, and strengthening security.

I’m a Design Engineer with 11 years in frontend, where I own UI/UX decisions and build them in React at scale. I’ve spent six years directing the UI/UX of DRAYOS, a large US drayage-TMS used by 500+ companies with hundreds of operational screens.

In my role, I built and owned the React component library and SCSS design system from scratch, growing it to 80+ shared components with theming and dark mode. I redesigned dense, clunky workflows into cleaner, more intuitive screens for dispatch, load lifecycle, billing, tracking, and more.

I’m hands-on with performance and reliability on heavy, data-dense interfaces—using memoization and list virtualization to keep grids responsive. I also harden frontend security with XSS-safe rendering via DOMPurify and coordinate remediations with backend and devops engineers, while using AI dev tooling to unblock delivery.
