About

I’m a Tech Lead who leads from the code and the calendar. I shape architecture, execution, and hiring while staying hands-on with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Redux, and HTML/CSS. I design systems, not pages—anchored in a robust design system, disciplined testing/CI, and solid web/system architecture. I instrument what matters (Web Vitals), run pragmatic experiments, and use Cursor, Claude Code, and MCP to amplify velocity so teams ship fast, safely, and with pride.
