About

A fullstack developer who cares how things are built

Fullstack developer with 6+ years building web and mobile products with React, React Native and TypeScript on the frontend, and Node.js and NestJS on the backend. I focus on scalable, reusable interfaces and the interaction details that make a product feel considered. I have led frontend teams, defined component architecture and built and integrated REST APIs.

Things I’ve built

Client work, in-house products and personal projects. Most are private, so there are no public links.

VaultDeploy
