How I collaborate

Full-stack partnership from research to rollout

I help teams plan traffic goals, shape thoughtful interfaces, craft reliable software and measure the outcomes. Engaging with me means a single partner across product, design, development and launch.

Recent teams

Vectra · 2023. Collaborated with senior and backend engineers on a Vue/Nuxt storefront powered by Magento, Storyblok, and SCSS. Implemented new features and fixed bugs based on scoped Jira tickets. Worked closely with design to ensure pixel-perfect results, wrote edge functions for third-party integrations, and delivered tested releases on schedule.

Munch · 2024 – present. Helping ship amazing features — you can find most of them on LinkedIn.

Co-founded and managed an indie project with friends — designing, developing, testing, and maintaining a full product lifecycle. Integrated third-party tools for payments, analytics, and deployment, while leading design direction and product decisions to keep the experience cohesive and maintainable.

Product-minded

Shipping thoughtful experiences from research and prototypes to production-ready platforms.

Full-stack delivery

From Figma prototypes to production — I design with purpose, create brand-aligned tokens, build and document components in Storybook, and deliver tested full-stack experiences. I handle everything from build and deploy pipelines to client feedback, analytics, and crash monitoring.

Community-driven

I share work through open-source and public-facing tools — from internal utilities to live projects like online ordering systems and marketing websites. My focus is on building integrations that connect teams and deliver real value to the public.
