About

Frontend/UI lead who drove an end-to-end Angular redesign at Ketto.org, creating a scalable design system and internal component library with 90%+ unit test coverage and ongoing performance work (FCP/TTI, SSR/CDN/caching). More recently at Google, built a complex React+TypeScript UX research platform syncing video playback with interactive transcripts (notes/tags/highlights) and shipped features via PRD-driven, phased rollouts with dogfooding and in-app feedback.

Key Strengths

• Led end-to-end frontend redesign and design system rollout as UI team lead
• Architected internal component library to standardize UI and speed future feature/A-B test delivery
• Quality focus with 90%+ unit test coverage requirement for components
• Performance optimization using FCP/TTI monitoring and PageSpeed Insights (SSR, CDN, caching, SVGs)
• Solved real-world UX/performance issues (layout shifts; hover-prefetch + cached HTML swap for faster perceived loads)
• Built complex React+TypeScript video/transcript research workflow with synchronized state via Context + custom hooks
• Strong TypeScript rigor for complex event typing (read-only refs, MouseEvent overloading, typed selection events)
• Cross-functional execution with CTO/PM, designers, and project manager using Jira and lightweight Agile
• Data-driven product prioritization (used historical query data to deprioritize <5% edge-case requirement)
• Structured delivery via detailed PRDs including rollout phases, dependencies, and timelines; iterated via dogfood + feedback tooling
