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.

Work experience· 4 roles
Led frontend development on enterprise Salesforce projects — building custom Lightning Web Components that match design intent with pixel-level precision. Acted as the design-engineering bridge: translating complex Figma designs into WCAG-compliant, accessible Salesforce interfaces, catching issues before they reach the build stage. Established component patterns and UI standards across concurrent project streams, improving handoff quality and reducing rework. Collaborated directly with Architects, BAs, and UX designers to align technical decisions with user experience goals from the outset.
Built React web apps for Atlassian and React Native mobile experiences for NAB Trade — delivering production-grade code across web and mobile platforms. Owned the full design-to-code pipeline from wireframes and high-fidelity Figma prototypes through to pixel-perfect, WCAG-compliant implementations. Built reusable component libraries and front-end patterns adopted across project teams, reducing duplication and ensuring visual consistency at scale. Prototyped and shipped interactive experiences that bridged design intent with production reality — collaborating directly with designers, PMs, and engineers.
Led interaction design for a suite of health care software products used by GPs and clinical staff across Australia. Translated complex clinical workflows into intuitive, user-centered interfaces — balancing regulatory requirements with usability. Defined front-end architecture and interaction patterns in collaboration with product managers and engineering leads.
