Interfaces that stay fast when the data gets heavy.

I build and scale React and Next.js applications for startups and enterprise teams — including a large-scale consumer platform for PepsiCo. I care about performance, server-side rendering, and data-heavy interfaces, and I can take work past the frontend when the product needs Node.js APIs too.

Client and product work, newest first. Each engagement is a module I owned through to release — not a slide deck.

04 / About

A short history.

I have spent most of the last eight years inside product teams — startups, NFT analytics at BitsCrunch, and an enterprise consumer surface at PepsiCo. The through-line is the same: take a dense problem, make the interface fast, and ship it with the people who own design, data, and QA.

I am strongest on React and Next.js, especially when the UI is data-heavy and performance actually matters. I have also written Node.js APIs, WebSocket services, and enough Python/Django to not get stuck when a product needs more than a frontend.

Right now I am independent, taking on client work. If you have a product that needs a senior frontend engineer who can own a module to production, I would like to hear about it.

05 / Contact

Let’s build something.

Freelance builds, a senior frontend seat, or a product that needs someone who can own the UI through production.
