Hi! I'm a full-stack developer specializing in front-end development with React. I love building clean, user-friendly web apps and crafting smooth, intuitive UI/UX experiences that feel effortless to use.

Most recently, I worked at Rakuten Kobo, where I helped relaunch their e-commerce platform by building a modern storefront experience used by millions of readers worldwide. Working closely with UX designers, I translated wireframes and design systems into pixel-perfect React components, while also optimizing the Next.js application through server-side rendering and static site generation to achieve faster page loads and improved SEO. It was a rewarding challenge to build and maintain frontend architecture that could hold up under peak traffic during major promotional events and new release launches.

Before that, I spent over two years at Bank of Montreal (BMO) building scalable, high-traffic features for their digital banking platform, serving over 8 million daily active users. I partnered closely with UX researchers to run usability testing and iterate on interface designs, which helped improve task completion rates meaningfully. I also led the development of a reusable component library of 50+ components, with a strong focus on WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance and UI consistency across the platform.

Outside of work, you can usually find me playing tennis, exploring new technologies, or looking for ways to push the boundaries of what's possible on the web.
