Product Engineer

Hi! I'm a product software engineer who takes those "can we make this work like..." conversations and turns them into actual working software. Currently at Connect, where I've built everything from our React design system to full-stack features (yes, including wrestling with AWS's clunky UI).

Even though I work full stack, my heart belongs to the frontend—where users actually experience what we build. That's my specialty 🤌.

Fellow engineers: Let's geek out about React Server Components, design systems, client-server architectures, or whatever you're building.

I'm also actively looking for new opportunities, so recruiters and potential teammates—let's chat!
