“Frontend engineer at LodestonePM who led end-to-end delivery of an AI release-notes generator (OpenAI API) and a Kanban-style release board in Remix/React/TypeScript. Demonstrated scalable architecture (bridging tables, upserts), strong QA practices, and measurable performance wins (200+ item loads reduced from 10–20s to a few seconds via caching/pagination), plus UX improvements like simplifying a Jira integration flow.”

“Frontend tech lead for a university e-signature platform (Next.js/React/TypeScript) replacing paper-based signing. Built a trustworthy multi-signer PDF signing workflow with backend-as-source-of-truth state handling, strong quality gates (typed contracts, linting, pre-commit, PR reviews), and performance work like Web Workers for heavy PDF operations.”

“Frontend engineer with experience building an orthodontics-focused IoT web product, including a complex React + TypeScript 3D treatment viewer with a layered architecture (data layer plus multiple canvas asset managers). Has applied performance techniques like caching and Web Workers to keep the UI responsive under heavy computation, and shipped monetization features such as payments and coupon/discount flows with structured QA rollout.”

“Built and deployed a production AI accessibility platform that turns chart and image-based graphs into real-time audio narratives for visually impaired users.
