## 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\.
