Technologies worked with
I'm a Software Engineer focused on building reliable, scalable, and user-focused software for the web. My work today spans modern JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue.js, APIs, component architectures, and design systems.
I enjoy working on the engineering problems behind great user experiences: application architecture, reusable components, performance, accessibility, maintainability, and the details that make software feel fast and intuitive. I'm comfortable across the full development lifecycle, from requirements and technical design to implementation, testing, optimization, and production delivery.
Throughout my career, I've helped build booking, marketing, and customer-facing applications for airlines, cruise companies, and consumer brands, working closely with design, product, and engineering teams to turn ideas into reliable software.
I've been building for the web since its earlier days, starting with technologies like PHP, ASP.NET, MySQL, HTML, CSS, jQuery, and MooTools. Those early years gave me a strong understanding of how the web works from the ground up and a foundation that continues to influence how I approach software today.
I've had the opportunity to experience the web evolve from static pages to dynamic applications, cloud platforms, component-driven systems, and now AI-powered products. I'm still curious about what's next and genuinely excited about where software is heading.

Featured case study
Mortgage Calculator & Refinance Planner
A React + TypeScript app for modeling mortgage amortization, extra-payment strategies, refinancing, and external loan arbitrage, with interactive charts and tables.
ReactTypeScriptViteRecharts
Key engineering decisions
- Modeled amortization, refinance, and arbitrage calculations as pure TypeScript utility functions, decoupled from the UI for easier testing and reuse
- Persisted form state to local storage per scenario (base loan, external loan, refinance) so users could return to in-progress comparisons
