About

A quick introduction

I've spent the last six years building web applications across fintech, ed-tech, consumer insights, and developer tooling — mostly in React and Angular, always in TypeScript. I like problems that live at the intersection of craft and performance, and I'm allergic to UI that loads slowly or can't be navigated with a keyboard.

Currently contracting through Toptal, where I lead front-end work on SongSurge and contribute to Suzy's AI-powered insights platform. Before that I was an open-source contributor to Fundamental NGX (SAP's Angular UI kit), a senior engineer at EMIS, ThinkTime, Webiz, TBC Bank, and a lecturer at IT Step Georgia.

Outside of shipping code, I write on Medium, mentor junior engineers, and try to keep up with the endless parade of new web specs, frameworks, and build tools.
