Senior Software Engineer at Marvin!

About

I'm an engineer who spends a lot of time thinking about how things feel to use — not just how they work. Most of my work lives at that edge where engineering decisions quietly shape the user experience. Things like: does this UI feel instant, or does it make you wait? Can someone navigate this with just a keyboard? Does the state make sense when something goes wrong? These aren't always the flashiest problems, but they're the ones I find myself caring about most. At Marvin, I've been building features that UX researchers rely on daily — video trimming, PII redaction, AI-powered analysis, annotation workflows. The scale has been real: 35,000+ files processed monthly, adopted by 65%+ of enterprise teams. But what's stuck with me more is when a user says something just clicked for them. I've worked extensively on the frontend — React, TypeScript, performance, state architecture — but I'm drawn to the full picture of how a feature comes together, from API design to what lands on the screen.
