Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer at ZeroTurnaround
July 1, 2013 - Present
Led migration of a mature SaaS web application from React to Next.js, reworking frontend architecture, TypeScript modules, and routing patterns to stabilize delivery inside an existing codebase. Restored missing UI components using React, Next.js, HTML5, and CSS3 and improved consistency across partially migrated screens. Resolved responsive and layout defects by refining CSS structure and Material UI behavior across desktop and mobile. Refactored legacy frontend modules to improve maintainability and performance by simplifying state flows and extracting shared UI components. Implemented new features in React/Next.js with REST APIs and GraphQL integration, while preserving established frontend architecture and data contracts. Diagnosed and fixed complex bug backlogs using browser devtools and error tracking, improving navigation, rendering, forms, and async data handling. Collaborated with backend teams (Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) to support frontend stability during refac
Research Assistant at Minitrue, Inc
August 1, 2012 - October 1, 2013
Prototyped frontend modernization approaches using JavaScript and React, evaluating migration paths to improve maintainability. Built reusable UI components and page templates from Figma specifications using HTML5 and CSS3 to restore visual consistency across partially implemented flows. Created lightweight service integrations with Python and REST APIs so frontend experiments could consume structured data. Assessed performance optimization opportunities across rendering and asset loading using browser devtools and monitoring. Documented frontend architecture patterns, component reuse guidelines, and Git/GitHub workflows. Supported data-driven interface experiments by connecting prototypes to MySQL and DynamoDB-backed services through API-contract style interfaces.
Senior Mobile Developer at Mobi Solutions
February 1, 2006 - July 1, 2012
Developed cross-platform mobile and web-facing interfaces using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3 with a strong focus on responsive design principles later applicable to React/Next.js work. Designed reusable UI components and interaction patterns to improve interface consistency and maintainability. Integrated client applications with backend services built on microservices patterns and PostgreSQL/MongoDB, ensuring stable data contracts. Built deployment automation and CI/CD-friendly build pipelines and improved release reliability using version control discipline. Collaborated with backend teams using AWS services (EC2, S3, AWS Lambda) and ensured frontend consumers handled edge cases cleanly. Improved application quality through frontend debugging, error tracking, and monitoring, and contributed to internal tooling modernization with Webpack and npm workflows to ease refactoring and long-term maintenance.
