Who I Am

I'm an engineering-focused leader who builds scalable web platforms and customer-facing products. I write production code daily, drive execution, and partner with product and design to ship high-impact features.

My technical depth spans React, Next.js, TypeScript, APIs, and CMS architecture, combined with a bias for building. I stay close to the code while driving velocity and quality.

I'm experienced in experimentation, performance optimization, and building engineering best practices in fast-paced environments. I translate complex requirements into clean, scalable solutions, and I ship them myself.
