About

I’m a frontend lead with a UI/UX design background, sitting at the intersection of two disciplines most people only know one of.

I understand what a designer is trying to achieve — the hierarchy, micro-interactions, and the intent behind spacing — and I write the code that brings it to life without losing anything in translation. I’ve led frontend delivery across React, TypeScript, and production apps for clients including Atlassian, NAB Trade, and Australian Government, building component libraries, design systems, and polished user experiences.
