What I focus on

Where I spend my time

Front-End Architecture

Designing scalable component and state architecture in React and React Native, with TypeScript, Redux, and reusable UI foundations that hold up as products grow.

Real-Time & Communication

Building chat, video meetings, screen sharing, and cross-application communication using WebSockets and browser Pub/Sub patterns for real-time, in-browser experiences.

Web Performance

Diagnosing LCP, TTFB, render delay, and API latency with Lighthouse and RUM, then fixing it — code splitting, lazy loading, critical CSS, CDN delivery, and font/image optimization.

Design Systems

Rolling out and maintaining design systems like IDS — consistent, reusable, well-documented components that keep large product surfaces visually coherent.

Career

Nine years, one steady climb
