I’m a Front-End Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and maintaining production web applications using TypeScript, JavaScript, and React. I focus on creating modular, reusable component architectures that scale, and I enjoy collaborating with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver accessible, responsive, and maintainable user interfaces. I’ve led efforts to reduce regression risk through automated testing, optimized performance and semantic structure for better SEO outcomes, and helped modernize legacy UI by refactoring into cleaner abstractions and documenting reusable patterns in Storybook. I also mentor teammates and use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate implementation while keeping quality and engineering best practices front and center.
