I build large-scale React and TypeScript applications for financial trading platforms and global retail systems. I own architecture decisions end-to-end — from requirements to production — and raise the engineers around me while I ship.

Currently: Frontend architecture lead on a $6B+ multi-PM hedge fund trading platform at DXC Technology. Real-time trading workflows, Okta SSO, AI-assisted dev tooling, Electron/OpenFin desktop sessions.

Pinned Projects

MetaCleaner — strip image metadata, entirely in-browser

React TypeScript Vite

Installable PWA that removes EXIF/metadata from images instantly — drag, drop, done. No uploads, no storage, all processing happens client-side.


fe-fwk-ts-react — React framework from scratch

TypeScript React

Built a learning implementation of a React-like framework in TypeScript — virtual DOM reconciliation, component lifecycle, hooks. Process: read the React source, reproduce core primitives, write tests against known behavior.


my-own-babel — Babel-like compiler from scratch

TypeScript

Implements a simplified JS compiler — parse (Acorn) → traverse (visitor pattern) → generate — to understand what Babel actually does under the hood.
