Senior Design Engineer
Front-end engineer and product-oriented design engineer with 10+ years building React-based products where component quality, design system consistency, and cross-functional collaboration are the job. I work across the full cycle — UX in Figma, component library architecture, production TypeScript — which means I can contribute meaningfully on both the design and engineering side of a product team. Most of my work has been in small, high-ownership teams where writing production code and understanding UX, state management, and technical trade-offs are all part of the same role.
