At Blend Labs, I lead high-impact engineering initiatives with emphasis on frontend architecture while delivering reliable backend systems. I’ve combined technical execution with team leadership to ship secure, scalable, and high-performance solutions for critical client workflows.
Key Achievements:
•Engineering Leadership: Led cross-functional initiatives spanning Product, Design, Compliance, and Operations. Mentored engineers, guided architectural decisions, and drove complex projects from concept to delivery.
•Frontend Expertise: Led large-scale React + TypeScript development, optimizing performance through code-splitting, lazy loading, and state management best practices. Built reusable, vendor-agnostic UI components and integrated real-time WebSocket updates for a seamless user experience.
•Full-Stack Execution: Designed and implemented APIs, WebSocket infrastructure, and event-driven services in Node.js - cutting API calls by 40% and boosting real-time responsiveness.
•Platform Migrations: Spearheaded vendor-agnostic migration to Zoom Video SDK for Blend's Remote Online Notarization product, reducing lock-in risks and ensuring seamless integration.
•Secure Document Workflows: Built compliant e-signature/document systems, automated follow-ups, and added granular permission controls to enhance security.
•System Reliability: Developed custom monitoring and debugging tools, reducing on-call incidents by 30% and halving incident resolution time.
•Tech Stack: React, TypeScript, Redux, Webpack, Node.js, Express, WebSockets, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Datadog, Splunk.
Impact:
Elevated Blend’s mortgage technology by leading frontend innovation, strengthening backend infrastructure, and improving developer productivity - while guiding teams toward technical excellence.
