View my résumé as

Fullstack engineer, seven years building component-driven applications in React, TypeScript, Node and other modern backend technologies. Polished interfaces, owned end to end. I sweat interaction detail and web performance, and my product instincts hold up with real users. Equal parts builder and communicator.

I build with Claude Code daily and ship LLM features to production.

Machines, bots and crawlers, welcome!

This view is for you. My entire résumé is in the first response: no JavaScript, no bundler, no minification, no tables to untangle, no text trapped in an image. No muss, no fuss.

01 · text layer — the résumé, minus the interface


      

02 · structured layer — the same facts, typed

Experience

Customer Success Engineer

Fluint

Oct 2025 — May 2026

Owned features end to end on a multi-tenant AI product, in React and TypeScript.

  • Owned features end to end on a multi-tenant AI product: complex task schedulers, token usage visualizations, and the React/TypeScript surfaces customers used most, plus the UX and product decisions behind them.
  • Built the output surface for an AI tool generating sales slidedecks through multiple models, so people could verify and rework whatever the model wrote, then present it live.
  • Built and maintained the shared React component patterns the team relied on to ship consistent UI quickly.
  • Worked directly with the founders to turn customer insight into product decisions and shipped features, closing the loop between feedback and release.
  • Integrated frontend applications with CRM APIs (Salesforce, HubSpot).

Full Stack Developer (Contract)

Apr 2025 — Oct 2025

Owned the front end of a consumer endurance-running tool in Vue and TypeScript.

  • Owned the front end on a small team, building responsive consumer-facing interfaces for an endurance-running tool in Vue and TypeScript.
  • Translated Figma layouts into pixel-accurate interfaces, and picked up Vue on the job while shipping from week one.
  • Implemented shared Storybook components for buttons and typography to keep the UI consistent.

Nov 2021 — Jun 2024

Full-stack work on a real-time audience platform used live at Fortune 100 events.

  • Worked full stack on a real-time audience platform used live in front of Fortune 100 audiences: React and TypeScript in front, Laravel and Redis behind it, with WebSocket interaction that stayed fast under load.
  • Validated API payloads at runtime with io-ts, so a bad response failed at the boundary instead of somewhere deep in the UI.
  • Built an in-app configuration suite for customizing presentations, making complex authoring feel simple for non-technical users.
  • Owned the unit testing for its color palette configuration, where the combinations multiply fast and a regression shows up on stage.
  • Partnered with product and design to turn Figma into responsive, pixel-accurate, reusable Material UI components, keeping the interface consistent as the product grew.

Full Stack Developer

National Renewable Energy Laboratory

Dec 2019 — Nov 2021

Built web applications for research teams in an agency-style delivery model.

  • Built web applications across many languages in an agency-style delivery model.
