Joined Furrl as part of the founding tech team and helped build and launch the platform from its early stages into a live consumer product. Led frontend development across both app and web, while building and guiding the frontend team in a fast-moving startup environment. Worked closely with product, design, and engineering teams to ship customer-facing experiences that balanced usability, scalability, performance, and business needs. Being part of a startup building technology-led commerce experiences in the fashion and lifestyle space expanded my perspective beyond engineering - into consumer behavior, product storytelling, design sensitivity, and how thoughtful digital experiences shape modern brands. This journey played a significant role in shaping my growing interest in the intersection of technology, fashion, branding, and modern consumer experiences.

Developer building at the intersection of Fashion, Branding & Technology

About

I’m a software engineer with a growing focus on fashion, branding, and modern consumer experiences. I’ve always been interested in both logic and aesthetics - which is probably why I ended up in technology while constantly being drawn toward fashion, branding, and design. As a software engineer working in startup environments, I’ve learned to build fast, adapt quickly, and think in systems. Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn toward the intersection of technology and lifestyle brands, especially in fashion and commerce. Areas I’m especially interested in: • Fashion × Technology • Consumer & commerce experiences • Brand systems and storytelling • Product thinking • Design-aware engineering I enjoy building with people who care deeply about craft, clarity, and meaningful experiences.
