Senior frontend engineer, 11 years in. Most recently at Wunderkind, where my code ran on other people's high-traffic websites under strict delivery SLAs. I owned our shared integration library, kept Core Web Vitals from regressing, and built a React/TypeScript Chrome extension that cut our integration testing time by 70%.I'd like my next job to be on frontend platform, developer tooling, design systems, or data viz, somewhere other engineers build on what I ship.
Since leaving I've been building on my own. FlightTrack is a real-time flight tracker in React 19 and MapLibre. I use Claude Code and other AI agents a lot, but I don't ship anything I can't explain.
