About

With over 16 years of experience in web development, I have honed my skills in creating engaging, accessible, and performant websites and applications. I am currently a Senior Frontend Software Engineer and co-leader of the Frontend Guild at Bridge, a leading corporate LMS and employee development platform used by organizations all over the world.

At Bridge, I work with a talented and diverse team of developers, designers, and product managers to deliver user-centric tools that enhance the e-learning and career path experience. I specialize in front-end development with a focus on design systems, responsive design, and performance optimization. I also have a strong background in UX, web design, and content strategy, which enables me to bridge the gap between design and development.

As co-leader of the Frontend Guild, I work alongside other stakeholders to define and enforce coding standards, research and vet the tools at our disposal, and do whatever it takes to maintain and improve the dozens of front-end repos that make up our core product.

My goal is to create web products that are not only functional, but also beautiful and intuitive. I want to build things that help people find their flow.
