Senior Software Engineer
I build scalable, performant web applications with React, Next.js, and modern backend technologies. Focused on clean architecture, thoughtful design, and delivering products that are both technically solid and genuinely useful.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Aventude, where I build production web applications with React, Next.js, and Node.js. I've built a rich text editor on Meta's Lexical framework, reusable UI component libraries, and analytics dashboards used across multiple products, and I mentor other engineers on React and Redux patterns.
I care about the decisions behind the code as much as the code itself: how a system is structured, what happens when it needs to scale, and how easy it is for the next engineer to change. Outside of work I build side projects to go deeper on specific problems, like how the JS event loop actually schedules work, or how rich text editors handle state and hydration.
Aventude
Built a reusable React component library adopted across multiple product teams.
Built a rich text editor on Meta's Lexical framework, plus analytics dashboards used in production.
Profiled and reworked data fetching and rendering paths to reduce unnecessary re-renders and network calls.
Mentored junior engineers on React and Redux patterns, including code review and pairing.
Aventude
Extended a low-code platform's editor UI in React/TypeScript, adding features that drove internal adoption.
Worked full-stack on a legal case management system, from API design to UI implementation.
Profiled slow API endpoints and front-end render paths, then fixed the specific bottlenecks found.
Migrated a legacy class-component codebase to functional components and hooks.
Work I've shipped at Aventude is under NDA, so these are independent projects I've built to go deeper on specific problems.
A community platform for creating, versioning, forking, and sharing AI coding assistant prompts ("skills") for tools like Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and Continue — think npm for prompt engineering.
Key challenge: forking a skill has to stay consistent under concurrent writes, so skill creation, tag copying, the initial version snapshot, and the original's fork count are all wrapped in a single Prisma transaction rather than sequential writes.
A React and TypeScript-based rich text editor built with Meta's Lexical framework. Features include text formatting, font customization, code blocks with syntax highlighting, lists, links, alignment controls, and undo/redo support.
Key challenge: migrating from Lexical v0.16 to v0.40 across breaking selection-model changes (GridSelection/NodeSelection/RangeSelection consolidated into BaseSelection) without breaking existing editor state.
An interactive tool that visualizes how JavaScript handles async operations with the event loop, microtasks, and macrotasks through step-by-step simulations.
Key challenge: the analyzer traces real execution by monkey-patching setTimeout/queueMicrotask/console.log inside a Web Worker, then has to detect when tracing is actually finished with no reliable end signal — solved with a quiet-period check that polls pending micro/macrotask counts.
A full-stack e-commerce marketplace built as a take-home technical assessment: NestJS/TypeORM/PostgreSQL API with a React + Vite frontend, JWT access + refresh-token auth, role-based access control, and product browsing with search, filters, and pagination.
Key challenge: quick-buy has to decrement stock without overselling under concurrent requests, solved with a conditional SQL update on the variant row instead of a check-then-write from application code.
A full-stack social media platform with user authentication, posting, commenting, and interactions. Features user profiles, post feeds, like/unlike functionality, and comment management.
Key challenge: sequencing image uploads to Cloudinary with post creation through Next.js server actions so a failed upload never leaves an orphaned post in MongoDB.
