Software engineer at Microsoft. Independent maker.

I build interfaces for people and tools for engineers.

My work connects frontend development with developer experience: products that are clear to use, and workflows that are clear to build with.

Two kinds of work. One engineering mindset.

Care for the experience, and understand the system behind it.

Developer platforms

At Microsoft, I build developer platforms for a large JavaScript monorepo. My work spans test infrastructure, dependency-aware builds, AI-assisted development, and CI reliability reporting backed by Kusto.

Test infrastructure. I led a 15-package Jest-to-Vitest pilot within a 4,000+ package monorepo, with approximately 4x faster test execution and compatibility checks before wider adoption.
Build feedback. Moving post-build work into a dependency-aware graph reduced average PR build time by approximately 8.3% against a 30-minute reference build.
AI-assisted versioning. I owned the design, implementation, testing, and validation of semver suggestions that delivered feedback in about one minute and reduced P90 PR build time by approximately 6.7% against a 30-minute reference build. My public static-analysis experiment explores a separate approach to the same class of problem.
Focused tools. I reduced a developer MCP server's catalog from 38 tools to 15 and its serialized tool-schema size by 62%, replacing redundant integrations with native CLI workflows.

Frontend products

My frontend work spans shipped client features and independent products. I use React, TypeScript, and state-management tools to turn product requirements into complete user workflows.

Onboarding. I built the new-user onboarding screens for OfColor, a financial wellness platform.
Offline, multi-tenant workflows. For an education PWA, I owned frontend flows for class attendance, planning, and student progress, alongside themed tenant variants. Redux Toolkit managed offline state; a sync control exposed pending uploads, with real-time updates while online.
End-to-end product work. I own and build RareDraw personally. Finexapp, Travel FX, and DevKit explore account tracking, offline currency conversion, and everyday developer tasks.
