01About

10+ years building enterprise systems. 40+ engineers using my design systems. I specialize in the rare intersection of frontend architecture and UI/UX leadership—and I'm adding AI Engineering to that toolkit.

At IBM, I lead frontend architecture for California's Medi-Cal provider portal—a system serving 50,000+ healthcare providers and processing $120B+ in annual claims. I define the patterns, build the component libraries, and mentor the teams that bring it all to life.

I'm seeking Staff-level engineering roles at mission-driven companies where I can shape product direction and build AI-enhanced experiences. Open to hybrid or remote in the Bay Area.
