my work

On a mission to build products that people love and have some fun along the way!


Kitman Labs

Senior Software Engineer (2024 - present)

I led several performance optimization initiatives that significantly improved the platform's efficiency, achieving a 40% reduction in initial bundle size, 14-minute faster CI test execution, and 50% faster hot module replacement. I also contributed to the migration of over 750 Enzyme tests to Jest, which unblocked the project's upgrade to React 18 and improved long-term maintainability. Beyond technical improvements, I focused on enhancing user experience by implementing sticky filters and redesigning problematic UI sections to reduce friction and improve workflow efficiency.

Additionally, I developed an Email Logs interface for product and support teams to monitor email delivery statuses, streamlining issue resolution and reducing back-and-forth with engineering. I also improved developer workflows by introducing GitHub composite actions for automatic review requests and implementing custom ESLint rules to enforce consistent styling practices across the codebase.


Axonista

Web Developer(2021 - present)

As a web developer, I contributed to several high-profile projects. For an environmental streaming service, I utilized Vue.js to enhance usability, ensuring a seamless experience while keeping content fresh through Craft and Ediflo CMS. CMS

In a widely-used streaming e-commerce app with millions of users, I played a key role in improving the frontend using Svelte, TypeScript, and GraphQL. My focus was on optimizing performance, particularly on older devices, and successfully integrating features for convenient in-app purchases.

For another streaming website, I led the team in delivering the first version swiftly, leveraging SvelteKit, TypeScript, GraphQL, and Tailwind CSS to create a high-performing site that met strict performance benchmarks.


Chiku

Frontend Developer(2019 - 2024)

I contributed to Chiku, a personal diary app available on Android and iOS. Using HTML, SCSS, JavaScript, ReactJS, Redux, Git, and AWS, I replicated a community platform to a website, integrated third-party libraries with backend REST APIs, and implemented Server-Side Rendering for improved SEO and faster loading times.
