Engineering expertise

Technical depth connected to product outcomes.

I work across interface, application, delivery, and team boundaries. Each capability starts with the problem it solves, explains the operating approach, and links to public evidence where available.

Capabilities

Frontend Architecture

Problem class: Keep product interfaces coherent as teams, routes, data sources, and release pressure grow.

Approach: Define stable composition boundaries, server/client ownership, typed contracts, and a design system that makes the correct path easy to reuse.

Frontend Architecture technologies and practices:
  • Next.js
  • React
  • Design systems
  • Server Components
  • GraphQL

React

Problem class: Build interactive product surfaces without allowing local state and dependencies to become system-wide complexity.

Approach: Use semantic component boundaries, explicit state models, server rendering by default, and focused client islands where interaction requires them.

React technologies and practices:
  • React
  • Next.js
  • React Query
  • Component architecture

React Native

Problem class: Deliver dependable mobile product journeys across changing network, inventory, and device conditions.

Approach: Model user and request states explicitly, protect critical paths, and share contracts without forcing web-shaped abstractions onto mobile UX.

React Native technologies and practices:
  • React Native
  • Mobile architecture
  • Native integration
  • API contracts

Performance

Problem class: Preserve responsiveness and comprehension when product scope, traffic, and third-party dependencies increase.

Approach: Budget JavaScript, CSS, fonts, images, and data; prioritize the customer task; measure production routes; and treat regressions as release failures.

Performance technologies and practices:
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Bundle analysis
  • Caching
  • Server rendering
  • Profiling

Accessibility

Problem class: Ensure product journeys remain understandable and operable across input methods, assistive technology, zoom, and user preferences.

Approach: Start with semantic HTML, keyboard and focus behavior, resilient states, WCAG AA contrast, reflow, and manual validation alongside automation.

Accessibility technologies and practices:
  • WCAG 2.2 AA
  • Semantic HTML
  • ARIA
  • axe
  • Screen readers

Testing

Problem class: Give teams fast evidence that critical behavior still works as architecture and product requirements evolve.

Approach: Test domain rules close to the code, component contracts at interaction boundaries, and a small set of valuable journeys in real browsers.

Testing technologies and practices:
  • Node test runner
  • Testing Library
  • Playwright
  • Contract tests
  • CI

AI-assisted engineering

Problem class: Use generative tools to increase delivery leverage without lowering reviewability, security, or engineering judgment.

Approach: Give agents bounded context and acceptance criteria, keep deterministic checks authoritative, and require human ownership at product and production boundaries.

AI-assisted engineering technologies and practices:
  • Coding agents
  • RAG patterns
  • OpenAI APIs
  • AWS Bedrock
  • Workflow automation

Supporting evidence

See the RAG Lab for a transparent, deterministic retrieval example.

CMS and content systems

Problem class: Let content teams publish safely without coupling every editorial change to application code or weakening performance and SEO.

Approach: Model structured content, validate lifecycle and references, separate editorial data from presentation, and make preview and publication rules explicit.

CMS and content systems technologies and practices:
  • Headless CMS
  • Structured content
  • Content APIs
  • Preview workflows
  • SEO metadata

Leadership and delivery

Make the system understandable to the team operating it.

Architecture is only useful when people can make decisions with it. I use written decision records, bounded ownership, observable releases, and explicit acceptance criteria to keep distributed delivery aligned.

  1. FrameDefine the user outcome, constraint, and evidence of success.
  2. BoundSeparate responsibilities and make integration contracts visible.
  3. ShipDeliver a reviewable slice with quality checks in the path.
  4. LearnObserve behavior, document the result, and adjust deliberately.
