About

Lead Frontend Engineer with 12+ years building large React and TypeScript applications for the financial, banking, and retail sectors. I work end-to-end on architecture, delivery, and team standards — taking requirements into production features, and lifting the engineers around me as I go. Recent highlights: leading frontend architecture on a $6B+ hedge fund trading platform, building an AI-assisted development toolkit used across a 15-engineer org, cutting portfolio-manager reporting from weeks to minutes, and migrating three retail-logistics apps to a microfrontend architecture that became a corporate standard.
