About

I’m a Frontend Engineer with 7+ years of experience building high-quality, scalable web applications using React, TypeScript, and modern frameworks like Next.js. I’ve worked with global teams at companies such as Microsoft and eBay, contributing to products used by millions and delivering reliable, accessible, and performant user experiences.

My background spans UI architecture, end-to-end testing, component libraries, CMS integrations, and performance optimization. I’ve led enhancements to internal tools, built dynamic interfaces from scratch, and developed automated test suites that keep complex systems stable. I’m also well-versed in cloud-driven and AI-assisted development workflows, which helps me move fast while maintaining technical quality.

What sets me apart is the combination of strong engineering rigor and a design-driven mindset. I care deeply about craftsmanship—clean code, accessibility, smooth UX—and I communicate clearly in distributed, async environments. Whether you need a polished marketing site, a robust frontend architecture, or a custom UI integrated with your backend or CMS, I bring both technical skill and reliability to the table.
