Design × Engineering × AI

I've always enjoyed wearing multiple hats. Throughout my career, I've worked across UX, design, front-end development, marketing operations, and full-stack projects, but the common thread has been helping teams turn ideas into products that people actually enjoy using.

I've redesigned startup marketing sites and user portals, built digital experiences in ad-tech and semiconductor software, streamlined marketing workflows with platforms like Marketo and AEM, and helped shape accessible web experiences in the public sector. Working with marketers, designers, engineers, and stakeholders has taught me that great products come from curiosity, collaboration, and understanding the people behind the requirements.

Today, AI has made the process even more exciting. I enjoy moving quickly from concepts to interactive experiences, using modern tools to accelerate development while applying human judgment to ensure the details are right. Whether I'm refining an interface, reviewing generated code, or improving a workflow, I care about building products that feel polished, intuitive, and thoughtfully crafted.

Thank you for visiting,
