About

I’m a full stack developer with 14+ years of experience building and supporting scalable client-server and web applications, with a strong focus on front-end engineering. I enjoy modernizing legacy systems, creating component-based user experiences, and making features reliable through testing and quality processes.

Across my roles at major financial institutions and tech organizations, I’ve worked on React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript stacks, integrated REST and GraphQL APIs, and partnered closely with UX and DevOps teams to deliver improvements in performance, accessibility (WCAG), and maintainability. I’m comfortable translating business objectives into clear requirements and delivering end-to-end solutions—from UI workflows and state management to API integration and production support.
