Senior Software Engineer at Justworks with 7+ years of experience building and scaling frontend platforms.

I led the platform unification that shifted 76% of customer traffic from a legacy Rails monolith to a modern Vue 3 SPA — 181K daily pageviews, 8.5K unique users, 2.91M weekly views. I shipped the unified customer dashboard, one-time payments, admin permissions, and navigation overhaul, all full-stack across a Vue SPA, Go BFF, and Rails monolith.

I create tools that make teams faster. My typed data-fetching library and shared config tooling are adopted across 7 apps and 5+ engineering teams. When a backend service was needed to unblock the frontend migration, I built that too — but my focus is frontend platform leadership.

Beyond shipping code, I care about making the people around me better. I mentor junior engineers, present regularly at engineering syncs, and have authored architecture proposals that shaped how my team builds. 852 PRs merged. 2,134+ code reviews. The work speaks for itself.
