About

I design and build scalable frontend systems used by millions of users — and increasingly, I’m focused on making them smarter with AI. With 9+ years of experience in frontend engineering and system design, I specialize in React, TypeScript, and building high-performance platforms in large-scale environments. At Lowe’s, I’ve contributed to frontend architecture for key platform components, driving cross-team technical decisions and scaling systems to handle significant traffic growth (190% YoY). I’ve also helped reduce defects by 65% by aligning architecture across teams and improving engineering practices. More recently, I’ve been working on integrating AI into real-world systems — not just experimenting, but building: • AI-enhanced user workflows using LLM integrations • MCP-style systems for structured interaction between models, tools, and application context • Agent-based workflows to automate developer tasks like PR reviews, debugging, and security checks • AI-assisted development pipelines to improve engineering productivity A couple of things I’ve built: • MCP server for Lowe's Loyalty Program (MLPR and MLR) and HomeCare+ which is integrated to Lowe's root agent (MyLow). • Cross-repo PR review agent with contextual fix suggestions What I care about: • Designing systems that scale cleanly • Driving architecture decisions across teams • Improving developer productivity using AI • Building practical, production-ready AI systems (not just demos) Tech stack: • React • TypeScript • System Design • AI/LLMs • MCP • GenAI • LangChain/LangGraph • Agentic AI • Node.js • Microservices • CI/CD • Cloud Always open to conversations around scalable systems, AI in engineering, and interesting product challenges.
