I’m a front-end engineer with 6 years of experience building accessible, responsive web applications and design systems. I enjoy turning complex UI requirements into clear, user-friendly components—especially when accessibility, consistency, and maintainability are part of the goal. In my recent work, I’ve built and evolved a design system in React, expanded tokens and theming approaches, and helped drive adoption across product teams through documentation, reviews, and training. I also led efforts to support design system development with AI-assisted tooling, combining agent rules, evaluations, TypeScript guardrails, linting, and automated reviews to help teams prototype and ship with confidence.…I’m a front-end engineer with 6 years of experience building accessible, responsive web applications and design systems.
