Selected work
Groovy Design System
One component library for the merchant admin, where merchants configure their offers, subscription manager, shipping and emails. Adopted across the company, growing to 30 to 40 components.
Spearheaded the project to replace duplicated, inconsistent styles. Built the first components (Button, ContentSection, Header) on react-bootstrap and set the team up on Storybook.

Side B
Nybble
A roguelike deckbuilder where every card is a line of code.
Stack cards into loops, wrap them in conditionals and chain combos that rewrite your program mid-run, then climb the heat tiers to face the Architect. An optional Engineer Mode shows each program as syntax-highlighted JavaScript.
I built and shipped it on my own as Gummy Skunk: a React app on Vite, packaged with Electron for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Liner notes
About
I started playing guitar at eight, then taught myself bass, drums, piano and enough audio engineering to make my home recordings sound better. By fifteen I needed a way to share them, so I taught myself HTML, then CSS, PHP and eventually JavaScript.
In high school I built the foreign language department's first website, and I have been writing code ever since. I studied Music Industry at SUNY Oneonta. More than a decade of professional front-end work later, the habits are still the ones music taught me: practice the fundamentals, listen closely, and keep refining until it feels right.
I still make music and play in a couple of bands. I also make games in JavaScript: I shipped Nybble on Steam as a solo developer, and I'm building the next one with Tauri.
Next, I'm looking for a front-end role with React at the center of the work.
