I am a Lead Frontend Engineer focused on high-traffic web applications and complex system architecture. Currently, I lead the frontend architecture for a video delivery platform, where I am executing a massive structural overhaul—including building out a 70+ component design system using Panda CSS within a strict monorepo architecture.

My core engineering foundation is deeply established in TypeScript, React, and modern architectural patterns like Feature-Sliced Design (FSD) and Domain-Driven Design (DDD). I specialize in the TanStack suite (Query, Start, and Router) and utilize functional error handling via the Result pattern. I treat AI as a daily force multiplier to ship the right scope quickly, instantly close domain gaps, and manage high-stakes deployments.

My focus is on bringing this level of strict architectural discipline to complex Senior and Lead product roles—building fast, highly scalable web applications that handle heavy state, scale cleanly, and deliver an exceptional user experience.
