I’m a frontend-focused Software Engineer who’s built multiple MVP SaaS products end-to-end, along with open-source and internal component libraries used across production teams. I thrive in fast-moving startups and growth-phase companies, working seamlessly with distributed teams to ship polished, scalable interfaces. While frontend is my core expertise, I’m fully capable on the full-stack, from designing UI systems to building performant APIs and backend workflows. If you need someone who can own the product front to back and deliver fast, clean, reliable results, I’m your engineer.
