About me

Who I Am

I’m a frontend-focused software engineer who enjoys turning complex product problems into clear, reliable experiences. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve built enterprise Angular platforms, data-heavy interfaces, and design systems.

More recently, I’ve been expanding into React Native, GraphQL, and AI-enabled workflows while building products of my own.
