About Me

I'm a seasoned Frontend Engineer and UI/UX Designer with over 15 years of experience crafting scalable, user-centric web applications. I specialize in transforming complex technical challenges into engaging, accessible, and visually compelling digital experiences that drive real impact.

I’ve led cross-functional teams and collaborated with international organizations, startups, and academic institutions, helping them innovate, streamline workflows, and deliver exceptional user experiences. Whether as an individual contributor or team leader, I bring a deep understanding of software engineering, interaction design, and UX best practices to every project.

I thrive on the challenge of balancing technical rigor with creative design, ensuring that every product is robust, efficient, and beautifully intuitive.

I’m passionate about crafting seamless digital experiences that are not just functional but delightful to use. Whether I’m architecting a wizard UI for a guided workflow, refining checklist-driven interactions, or optimizing a PWA for mobile-first engagement, I approach every challenge with a user-first mindset and a commitment to high-performance, scalable design.

Beyond the craft of building great digital experiences, I’m driven by purpose. I’ve always sought work that contributes positively to the world—or at the very least, doesn’t make it worse. That guiding principle has led me to roles in educational institutions, edtech startups, biotech advocacy, and now solar energy and continues to drive my career decision making to this day.

With a background in psychology, engineering, and design, I bring a holistic approach to problem-solving. At the end of the day, I want my work to be valuable, not just to the people using it, but to the world in some way.

I’ve played a key role in shaping front-end architecture and UX strategy at companies like:

• Bright, Inc.– Driving front-end development and UX enhancements for scalable partner portals, improving the experience for sales teams and external agents in the solar energy sector.
• Biocom California – Led full-stack projects, modernizing digital workflows and enhancing UI/UX across internal platforms.
• MediaAMP, Inc. – Built modern front-end solutions, ensuring seamless integrations and intuitive design for media management applications.
• University of Washington – Pioneered responsive design initiatives and played a key role in transitioning legacy applications to modern frameworks.

My expertise spans JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, Material UI, Apollo GraphQL, and a suite of design and prototyping tools. I have a track record of migrating legacy codebases, integrating third-party platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Stripe), and building reusable, scalable component libraries that elevate both developer efficiency and user experience.
