About

Senior Frontend Engineer with 7+ years of experience building high-performance web applications and leading UI development at companies like Confluent, Nutanix, and American Express. I specialise in React and TypeScript—architecting scalable frontend systems, optimizing for performance, and owning products end-to-end. I've rebuilt platforms as modern SPAs, eliminated UI freezes through Web Workers and lazy loading, and designed cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform) to support global delivery. Beyond the browser, I'm comfortable contributing across the stack when needed—Node.js, GraphQL, Python, GoLang What drives me: crafting interfaces that are fast, accessible, and a joy to use. I also love mentoring engineers and turning ambiguous problems into shipped products. Currently leading UI development for Confluent Cloud's Control Plane and Observability teams.
