01About

I build products that work, scale, and make sense.

Six years shipping banking apps, e-commerce platforms, micro-frontend architectures, and enterprise SaaS used by thousands. I work at the intersection of technical depth and product thinking: I understand the business problem behind every feature.

I've led frontend teams, designed systems from zero, mentored engineers, and now use AI-assisted tooling to multiply velocity without compromising the bar.

02Experience

Where I've made impact.

  1. Key engineer across two flagship products: CenterCheck, a B2B retail-intelligence SaaS covering tens of thousands of U.S. retail locations; and Fantasy Life, a major U.S. fantasy football platform.

    Visit CenterCheck
    1. 01Enabled enterprise clients to visually analyze store-level sales performance across 50,000+ U.S. retail locations by engineering an interactive Mapbox integration with real-time clustering and performance-optimized rendering, reducing initial map-render time by 65% on 10k+ point datasets.
    2. 02Surfaced actionable retail insights to enterprise decision-makers by building Chart.js dashboards, custom Sankey diagrams for customer-journey analysis, and comparative time-series visualizations that render KPIs in under 2 seconds per query.
    3. 03Reduced client reporting turnaround from 30+ minutes of manual work to under 10 seconds by building a server-side Puppeteer PDF pipeline supporting 6+ report types with dynamic branding and on-demand exports.
    4. 04Co-built Fantasy HQ — the central command center used by every active Fantasy Life user — by developing the frontend for high-traffic roster-decision tools (Waiver Wire Analyzer and Trade Analyzer) that power weekly lineup and trade decisions for thousands of U.S. fantasy football players.
