5+ years building production web apps. I care about the gap between "it works" and "it's good" — performance, a11y, design systems, the details that actually matter to users. Recent work:

- audit-core — open-source accessibility audit engine (npm) defaulting to APCA contrast instead of WCAG 2.x, built from scratch (not an axe-core wrapper) - Traça — full-stack social reading platform (Next.js 15, TypeScript strict, PostgreSQL, Prisma, NextAuth v5) with visual bookshelves, a reread system, and a Spotify Wrapped-style annual retrospective - Accessible OKLCH color picker for blind/low-vision users, with APCA contrast checking and computational CVD simulation

I work well async, ship with care, and communicate clearly across time zones.

About Me: I’m a senior frontend/product engineer with ~5 years of experience building modern web applications with TypeScript and React. I’ve worked at an early-stage US startup where I owned core product features end-to-end, collaborating closely with design and backend teams.

I enjoy product-focused engineering, strong UI/UX, performance, and building tools that are both reliable and delightful to use. Recently, I’ve also been building personal projects in devtools and mobile (React Native + Expo).

What I’m Looking For: Full-time remote roles as a Senior Frontend Engineer or Product Engineer, ideally in startups or small teams where I can take ownership, ship quickly, and contribute to both engineering and product decisions.
