About Me

With over 8 years in software development, including 6 years as an instructor, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, teaching experience, and a passion for building inclusive and high-quality digital experiences.

As a Senior Web Developer at Milan Laser, I architect and build the systems that power their marketing presence. That work spans a published React/TypeScript component library consumed across multiple sites, full-stack internal tooling, and a Turborepo monorepo that consolidated three separate codebases into one.

Outside of work, I'm building a wildlife-focused platform that helps zoos and wildlife sanctuaries analyze animal behavior through AI-powered video processing. It's a passion project I care deeply about, one that brings together my love of animals, conservation, and pushing what's possible with modern technology.

My background as a violist and audio engineer has instilled a deep appreciation for precision and user experience. That same attention to detail shapes how I approach every project, whether it's a system I'm designing, a test I'm writing, or an interaction that just needs to feel right.

Current Focus

  • Architecting component systems and design tokens for multi-site platforms
  • Building full-stack apps with Next.js, React 19, and TypeScript
  • Implementing test coverage with Vitest, Jest, and Cypress
  • Creating accessible, WCAG-compliant interfaces

Quick Facts

  • Contributed 528 commits to a published React/TypeScript component library
  • Built a full-stack influencer system in 5 weeks, end-to-end
  • Mentored over 1000 developers into tech careers

Continuous Learning Approach

From leading curriculum at a coding school to architecting systems at scale, my career has always been driven by a genuine curiosity for what is possible. Each project brings new constraints and opportunities, whether it is a monorepo consolidation, a component library built for multiple teams, or a passion project that pushes into territory I have never explored before. That drive to keep learning is not something I have to force. It is just how I work.
