About

Senior software engineer focused on React, React Native and frontend architecture. I’ve spent the last decade building web and mobile products, leading projects and helping teams navigate the increasingly chaotic pace of modern software engineering.

Interested in developer experience, design systems, communication and systems that age gracefully.

A selective snapshot rather than the full story. If you’d like a complete résumé or want to talk about a project, I’d be happy to share more.
