Principal Frontend Engineer with 18+ years of experience building and architecting scalable SaaS web applications. I specialize in TypeScript, React, Next.js, and frontend architecture, with a strong focus on design systems, reusable UI components, and developer experience.

I work as a hands-on individual contributor while serving as a frontend technical authority—partnering closely with UX, Product, and Engineering to deliver high-quality, maintainable user experiences at scale. I care deeply about craftsmanship, performance, accessibility, and clean code, and I enjoy mentoring engineers through influence and collaboration.

I’m also passionate about using GenAI tools to improve developer productivity and explore new ways AI can enhance frontend workflows and customer experiences.
