Available for remote work
Work with me
Design background. Engineering execution. Full ownership.
I'm a Design Engineer who independently designs, builds, deploys, and maintains production products. 25+ years of product/design experience, self-taught into full stack engineering. No handoff friction — I ship the whole thing.
Design Engineer
I design it, build it, ship it, and maintain it — no handoff required.
- Deep product/design background (25+ years) combined with self-taught full stack engineering — I own features end to end
- Shipped production apps with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Node.js
- Built a live TV streaming platform: OBS → RTMP → nginx → HLS segments → Next.js viewer with mobile autoplay handling
- Created and documented a full design system as a live site — tokens, components, patterns, voice & tone, accessibility
- Shipped Compresso — a ~2 KB zero-dependency browser image compressor that removes upload failures for public-scale systems
Frontend Developer
Accessible, performant UI that holds up in production — not just in prototypes.
- Next.js App Router, React Server Components, streaming SSR, ISR — production patterns, not demo apps
- Accessibility as a non-negotiable: WCAG 2.1, focus management, screen reader testing, motion preferences
- Real-time systems: WebSocket audio streaming, HLS video, persistent media players across navigation
- AI-assisted development practitioner — faster iteration without losing craft or code quality
Full Stack Developer
From database to deployment — I ship complete products, not just components.
- Self-hosted infrastructure: nginx reverse proxy, RTMP ingest, HLS segmentation, SSL, process management
- API design, server-side rendering, edge functions, Vercel deployment and CI/CD
- Comfortable with Linux servers, Docker, DNS, and production debugging
- Formspree, Vercel Analytics, OBS integration — practical tooling for real products

I'm open to full-time remote positions, contract work, and consulting. Timezone-flexible, async-first, and comfortable working autonomously.
