My role is Product Design Engineer · I focus on Design & front-end
Where design meets code… that's where I add value.
Design systems & UI platform engineer, 20 years in production UI, from insurance platforms to fantasy-sports games with a million-plus players. I design interfaces, build them, and ship code to production.
- Design-grade front-end
- React · TypeScript
- Accessibility built in
- Design systems
Why my products feel finished.
Design and accessibility are usually the first things cut when a deadline closes in, or treated as someone else's job. I build them in. That's why what I ship works across real devices and assistive technology, and why it holds up after launch.
The UI is where I bring the most value
Design systems taught me where interfaces break: type, spacing, motion, the empty and error states most engineers leave blank. I build it myself instead of handing a spec to someone who will approximate it.
Accessible by construction
Keyboard paths, focus management, and screen-reader behavior built in from the start, before a QA pass finds them missing.
I sweat the last 10%
Empty states, recoverable forms, the screen that shows when there is nothing to show yet. Those are the parts that decide whether a product feels finished, and whether it holds up after launch.
I build the system underneath the screen
When a product needs a real design system, I build that too: one library, one accessibility floor, every brand held to the same standard. It is how the UI stays consistent as the team and the surface area grow.

Logatot: hands-free capture in the moment
- Logistics platform IVFCRYO A self-service platform for cryogenic fertility shipments, where the hard part was getting five parties provably ready before a specimen moved.
- Admin platform VMSpark A multi-tenant admin platform rebuilt and shipped in four phases: the operator-facing UI and workflows, delivered with zero pipeline regressions.
- Voice platform Logatot A voice-controlled operations platform for home-based child care, built for a user whose hands are already full.
Designer by origin. Engineer by practice.
I started in design and moved into engineering because I wanted to build the things I created, not hand them off. Twenty years later, the front end is where I do my best work: accessible UI with the design judgment that usually takes hiring a separate designer to get.
Away from the screen, I play bass and gig semi-regularly.
