Mostly a React and Next.js engineer. I ship accessible, fast frontends for government, memorial and open-source projects, and I like the parts other people skip: performance, a11y, the design system. Off the clock I write C#, Lua and whatever a hobby project needs.

Legacy.com via Kruko.io

Build and ship Next.js App Router applications in TypeScript and React 19 for one of the largest obituary and memorial platforms in the US. Performance work took Lighthouse scores from 40 to 60 up to a consistent 90+, which grew traffic and ad revenue.
Deliver PayloadCMS applications on PostgreSQL: collections, content models, generated types, media, and repairing migrations when they broke, so editors manage content without waiting on developers.
Build features with TanStack Query and Form on a shared Storybook design system with Tailwind CSS inside a Turborepo monorepo, so several applications reuse one set of components.

Couchbase via Kruko.io

Built the open-source Couchbase Lite SDK in TypeScript for React Native and Ionic/Capacitor: local-first storage and replication against a distributed database, covered by Jest unit and integration tests, so apps keep working offline and reconcile on reconnect.
