About

Product Engineer with 4+ years of experience in Frontend Engineering. I enjoy building simple, easy to use, underwhelming interfaces and I care about open-source software. I like fast-moving teams where I can wear multiple hats, take ownership of messy problems, and move from idea to deployment without unnecessary overhead. Currently working on BeenThere.

Engineering, Design & Infra

Jul 2025 – Present · 10 mos · Remote

Working on the full product surface: web & mobile app, backend, infra.
Engineered a block-based trip editor supporting 14 content types using a custom drag-and-drop canvas with dnd-kit (web) & Reanimated (mobile) for flexible trip creation.
Set up image uploads using presigned R2 URLs, with server-side BlurHash placeholders and Cloudflare Image Transformations to serve resized variants (thumb/card/full) at the edge without storing multiple copies.
Handled concurrent uploads with a semaphore limiting parallel requests, AbortController cleanup on unmount, and attempt IDs preventing stale overwrites.
Built a type pipeline where server route schemas (TypeBox) generate the OpenAPI spec, which generates typed SDK methods for web and mobile. CI checks (sdk:check, guard:type-safety) catch type drift before production.
Designed the Postgres schema (Drizzle ORM) covering users, trips, blocks, media, and a buddy/invite system.
Used JSONB for block content so shapes can evolve without migrations, state-machine columns for media upload lifecycle, cascade/set-null rules for safe deletions, unique constraints and indexes.
Implemented XSS protection by server-side HTML sanitization with DOMPurify for user-generated rich text, pollution guards on incoming JSON.
Engineered a cross-platform React Native (Expo) app achieving 60fps performance by offloading gesture handling and reordering logic to the native thread via Reanimated.
Focused on tiny interactions across both apps: inline delete confirmations that dim the card and crumple it away, listicle cards that slide in navigation direction with matched spring physics on web and mobile, shake feedback on character limits, auto-save with unsaved-changes warnings, and rich-text inputs that convert markdown-style lists as you type.
Set up CI/CD with GitHub Actions (6 parallel jobs), encrypted envs with dotenvx, Vercel preview deploys on PRs, and production deploys on merge to main.

Worked on the social platform for creators, contributing across both Web & React Native on primary UI surfaces like feeds, profile pages, gallery views and community pages.
The platform relied on a lot of inter-related data, so a lot of time went into writing scalable, type-safe queries using Relay and GraphQL to ensure components declared their own data requirements to avoid over-fetching or fragile queries.
Contributed to fixing cross-platform UI bugs and building our component library using styled-components
Increased frontend feature velocity by shipping 45+ pull requests in 60 days, delivering critical UI enhancements for comments, notifications, and community modules across web and mobile platforms.
Collaborated cross-functionally to ship features like markdown support, community profile enhancements, and NFT content previews.
Implemented scalable data fetching patterns and optimized loading strategies, reducing redundant queries and improving perceived performance for better UX.
