About

Professional summary

I am a design engineer who bridges UX design and front-end engineering to create accessible, human-centered digital experiences. I bring nearly a decade of professional experience building production websites and applications with a strong focus on readable code, performance, and developer experience.

I connect Figma designs, design tokens, and component documentation to scalable implementations in React, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Storybook. My work centers on reusable component systems, responsive interfaces, and consistent design-to-development workflows.

I have led research-driven UX redesigns, usability testing, and accessibility improvements across dozens of websites. I use WCAG guidance, manual testing, and production quality checks to improve keyboard navigation, color contrast, alternative text, and overall usability.

I also bring experience with WordPress, Gutenberg, headless CMS platforms, CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Composer, and Vercel. I have improved website performance, Core Web Vitals, and PageSpeed scores while supporting independent updates across multi-site environments.

I enjoy using AI-assisted workflows to support implementation planning, design-token audits, content migrations, documentation, and repetitive engineering tasks. I have also mentored developers, introduced Git and deployment workflows, and collaborated closely with product, business, technology, and executive stakeholders.
