“Frontend engineer who has led end-to-end delivery of a climate-risk visualization/financial impact web platform using micro-frontends (Webpack Module Federation), a shared MUI design system, and React Query server-state to keep independent modules consistent and performant. Also improved a complex rules-heavy document editor (Crove.app) by eliminating input lag with memoization + Web Workers and introducing a headless rendering engine reused across products, with disciplined rollout via feature flags and Sentry monitoring.”

“UX/Product Designer with experience redesigning a complex enterprise Video Management System (VMS), focusing on the configuration experience—improving flows with dashboards while modernizing UI without breaking legacy users’ mental models. Uses field observation, UX audits, and extensive user testing, and collaborates closely with engineers (HTML/CSS/JS familiarity) to ensure feasibility—e.g., pivoting notification designs from push to widgets based on technical constraints.”

“Creative designer/UX designer with a sales background who positions themselves as a strategic translator between growth/UA needs and brand craft. Portfolio examples include a high-polish Facebook UI concept redesign focused on calm, clarity, and accessibility, plus a human-centered wellness app emphasizing trust, privacy, and reduced cognitive load. Also builds scalable Figma systems and modular video/template workflows for high-volume marketing output.”

“Product/UX designer who built a cloud-based data management and visualization system for healthcare and manufacturing, translating script-driven and highly technical workflows into guided, step-based experiences. Strong in progressive disclosure, role-based defaults, and trust-building UI patterns, with hands-on prototyping in Figma and close design-engineering collaboration (HTML/CSS, component systems, working TypeScript familiarity) to ship scalable, accessible designs.”

“Marketing creative designer with both high-polish design and end-to-end video production experience, including leading Workhuman event collateral across landing page/print/deck and producing a Special Olympics Unified Sports episodic social video series. Currently rebuilding a scalable Figma-based newsletter design system optimized for high-volume output across desktop/mobile and light/dark modes with accessibility baked in.”

“Frontend engineer who led end-to-end delivery of a Vite/React/GraphQL/MUI SPA with feature-based, layered architecture and strong quality gates (TypeScript strict, CI, testing, a11y).
