About

Frontend engineer with 15+ years of experience building high-performance web and mobile applications using React, React Native, and TypeScript. I specialize in translating complex problems into intuitive, performant user experiences. My work focuses on component architecture, design systems, accessibility (WCAG), and performance optimization — with a strong emphasis on usability and real-world impact. I’ve led frontend development for products used by millions of users (Capital One Shopping) and built multiple production applications end-to-end, including real-time systems and cross-platform mobile apps. Recently, I’ve been focused on building user-first applications in high-stakes environments, including a real-time translation platform for healthcare and financial services. I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering, product, and design — where thoughtful frontend decisions directly improve user outcomes. 🔗 Portfolio: https://db.rocks
