Creating, developing, refactoring and refining is what I love to do. I have been a Front-End/UI Developer for most of my career, with deep roots in design, and I am passionate about design, performance and clean code. I love working on teams that hold a very high standard for building the best product, where features are designed to adapt and change while staying fast.
From previous clients, employers and my own products.
Senior UI Developer on Resolute ERA, InfoEd Global's research administration platform. Built much of the application's UI framework, utilities and services from the ground up, and helped design and deliver a large share of its features. When I joined, the app faced a steady stream of daily bugs and slow turnaround; I worked with the team to build a stronger code review process, which sped up development dramatically. Averaged over 5,000 commits a year over two years. It was also my first project on a team using AI and agentic coding: without a system in place, AI-written code quickly became an inconsistent mess. It showed me both the strengths and the pitfalls of agentic coding, and that a strong process cuts bugs and side effects significantly, but only once the foundation is solid.
Led UI design and front-end development for the MediaCost application. Balanced long-standing layouts that users relied on with a steady cadence of new features, pitching improvements weekly. Built a large, scalable proprietary UI library and utility libraries, and refactored the Angular application's design through several major iterations while delivering a broad set of new features.
Built the new layouts and the internal feature pages promoted each week during Fender's migration to Salesforce Commerce Cloud (then Demandware). Also delivered the largest project of my time there: moving all four Fender brand sites onto a fully responsive Foundation framework.
Member of the UX team that designed and built feature sites for SheKnows.com. Wrote automated scripts for weekly custom newsletters for women's magazines, designed Facebook and social experiences for featured products, and maintained front-end development across SheKnows and its parenting sites. The first team where I worked in Scrum, with weekly stand-ups and 14 to 21-day sprints estimated with Fibonacci story points.
Led e-commerce projects for high-profile clients including MTV, Motorola, Samsonite, T-Mobile, Altoids, Tim Hortons, Reader's Digest, Benefit Cosmetics, Jack Nicklaus Golf Store and Stash Tea. Created mockup designs tailored to each client's requirements, led kickoff and project meetings, and managed junior team members to keep deadlines on track. Moved on when the client roster grew much faster than the design and development team, creating a backlog of two to three epics per sprint that put quality at risk.
Products I design and build on my own time to keep my skills sharp, all running on FAB Framework and the same NestJS API.
A container-based component architecture for Angular: every screen is assembled from a small set of shared base components driven by config, with form, section and card builders, a design editor for theming, and a visual page builder. Everything below runs on it.
An all-in-one planner for busy households: task boards with points and rewards, budgets, invoices and statements, a shared calendar, home and car maintenance, and a kids' tracker, on the web and iOS, backed by a NestJS and PostgreSQL API.
A picture-based learning board for kids: parents build boards of cards with 3D icons and voice clips in English or Spanish, start from ready-made starter boards, and preview them as tappable bubbles or a zoomable World view.
A co-op game finder: group size, session length, crossplay and reviews for 200 online and local co-op games, with friends, chat and play sessions. Every game page is pre-rendered for speed and search.
