About me

I'm a frontend engineer specializing in scalable enterprise applications, reusable component libraries, and UI optimization to elevate user experience and application performance.

Before transitioning into software development in 2022, I spent over a decade as a professional musician—performing, recording, and teaching. I see a deep connection between music and software development, particularly in areas such as pattern recognition and the importance of solid architecture—whether in composing a song or writing code. This unique perspective helps me approach development problems with creativity, confidence, and an openness to innovative solutions.

I'm experienced in implementing designs using JavaScript frameworks such as Angular, React, Vue, and Next.js, while also building component libraries that help businesses streamline their development practices. One of my most recent projects involves integrating Contentstack's headless CMS with a custom React component library to create a low-code solution for building dynamic digital experiences. In my previous role as a software consultant, I was often tasked with quickly learning new tools and technologies to provide expert recommendations and develop long-lasting solutions. This fast-paced environment has helped me become highly adaptable and self-motivated, always eager to tackle new challenges.
