About Me

I'm a Frontend-focused developer with production experience building dashboards and real-time products used by thousands. I turn complex workflows and data into clear, intuitive user experiences.

I work closely with product and design teams to ship responsive and accessible interfaces, and I also contribute to Node.js APIs, MongoDB data modeling, and performance improvements end-to-end.
