About

I'm a senior frontend engineer with seven years of progressive experience at Quicken. I specialize in frontend architecture, performance, reporting, and data visualization for interaction-heavy financial products across React and React Native.

My strongest work starts with a product problem that has become a systems problem: state that no longer has one clear owner, rendering that breaks down under real data, or a workflow that has accumulated too many one-off implementations. I trace the behavior, make the tradeoffs explicit, and build a path that teams can ship incrementally.

I still work close to the code. Alongside architecture and delivery, I use Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-connected tools to accelerate research, implementation, debugging, and validation while keeping evidence and human review at the center of the workflow.

What I work on

  • Frontend architecture for complex React and React Native products
  • Performance engineering, browser profiling, and rendering optimization
  • Reporting systems, virtualized data grids, and interactive visualization
  • API and data-contract design across web, mobile, and backend teams
  • AI-assisted engineering workflows and developer enablement
  • Technical direction, written design, mentoring, and cross-functional delivery

How I approach engineering

Measure the real failure mode before choosing the fix. That can mean profiling an interaction under production-shaped data, tracing a state loop across layers, or checking product analytics before deciding what deserves investment.

Treat architecture as a delivery tool. A strong design creates one understandable source of truth, supports staged migration and rollback, and makes the next change safer for engineers who were not part of the original project.

Use AI as leverage, not authority. I connect models to the context engineers already use, constrain their outputs, and keep consequential decisions grounded in code, product data, and reviewable evidence.
