Résumé · Product Engineer Updated June 2026
Twenty years building the parts of the product people actually touch.
Front-end and UI developer with 20 years building accessible, high-performance interfaces. I build and maintain the component libraries and design systems teams ship on, hold them to WCAG, and keep the code honest with automated testing. I mentor the people around me and fit UI work cleanly into whatever stack it lands in.
