I'm a senior frontend developer with a foundation in visual design, focused on building useful products and scaling durable design systems.
I work best at the intersection of design and engineering—translating visual clarity into accessible, maintainable interfaces. I've led design system initiatives, modernized legacy codebases, and advocated for quality in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments.
I'm passionate about building products that are not just functional, but also delightful to use. I believe in the power of thoughtful design and clean code to create experiences that resonate with users. My approach is user-centered, focusing on solving real problems with empathy and precision. I value calm collaboration, thoughtful execution, and long-term product thinking. I'm currently looking for a remote-friendly team that shares those values—and is building something that matters.
Based in St Augustine, Florida, I'm a dad, climber, and surfer always looking for ways to combine tech with real life. Offline, you'll often find me chasing waves or toddlers.
While I can’t share work from my current role, these personal projects represent my approach: thoughtful, user-focused, and built with care.
A minimalist training app for climbers, designed to guide hangboard routines through haptics, visual cues, and progressive timers. I built it for Apple Watch and iPhone with a focus on glanceability, low-distraction UI, and reliable performance under physical stress. The design emphasizes flow and focus—making workouts easier to start, sustain, and finish.
A focused surf conditions app built for St. Augustine, FL, designed to quickly answer a simple question: is it surfable right now? I prioritized speed, clarity, and a calm UI over data overload—making it ideal for real-life, time-sensitive checks. Future iterations will expand to other East Coast spots and include Apple Watch support for even faster, glanceable insights.
I care more about what tools enable than the tools themselves—but I'm always experimenting and refining my workflow to build better software.
