> Senior Frontend Engineer | Thriving at the intersection of design, engineering, and AI

Location: St Augustine, Florida, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/ly

👋 I’m a senior front-end engineer and aspiring UI architect with nearly a decade of experience crafting intuitive, high-performance interfaces. At OfficeSpace Software, I’ve been at the forefront of agentic development—pairing with AI tools like Cursor, GPT, and Copilot to transform how we build.

In just 74 days, our 2-engineer team shipped a full asset management solution—on time, without cutting scope, and with room to deliver even more than planned. Agentic development didn’t just make us faster—it gave me space to focus on what truly matters: performance, design, and delivering seamless experiences across the stack.

While my expertise lies in front-end, I’ve grown to understand and contribute across the full product flow—collaborating closely with back-end systems to bring features to life end-to-end. I thrive at the intersection of design, engineering, and now, AI.

Outside of work, I’m a full-time mom of three, a first-generation Vietnamese-American, and a zone 9b gardener 🌱. Whether it’s building great software or growing tomatoes in the Florida heat, I bring curiosity, grit, and care to everything I do.

Let’s connect—especially if you’re exploring AI-assisted development or passionate about building impactful products with focused, high-performing teams.

## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Wealthbox
Jan 2026 – Present | United States

### Senior Software Engineer @ OfficeSpace Software
Jan 2022 – Jan 2026
Shipped our new Asset Management product from zero to GA in just 74 days—with only two engineers—by leaning into AI-first workflows. I planned the architecture, paired with GenAI tools like Cursor, Claude, and GPT, and stayed deeply hands-on from design system integration to end-to-end test coverage. We delivered fast without cutting corners—intuitive, performant, and well-tested from day one.

Some of the ways I’ve helped scale our product and team:
	•	Transitioned our front-end team to full-stack by owning Ruby on Rails and GraphQL work—eliminating bottlenecks and speeding up delivery.
	•	Co-architected our internal React component library (Material UI-based), improving velocity and consistency across the UI.
	•	Led our accessibility initiative, embedding WCAG standards and inclusive design into our product culture.
	•	Automated the localization pipeline with a custom GitHub Action + GenAI integration, slashing time spent on translations.
	•	Rebuilt our testing stack: resolved flaky Capybara/Jest tests and introduced Cypress + Cucumber for reliable, human-readable E2E coverage.
	•	Mentored junior engineers and drove internal adoption of AI tools and workflows, making AI-first development both effective and approachable.
