Make components easy to use correctly
I design component APIs so teams can follow shared patterns with fewer special cases. Common tasks should be straightforward, and the API should make constraints clear.
Frontend architecture & design systems
I help teams build complex interfaces that stay consistent as they grow.
I lead frontend architecture and design systems, from component APIs to the workflows people use every day. I help teams ship changes while keeping interfaces fast and accessible.

Personal projects
-
mana
Agent skills I use to plan and build software, with workflows for implementation and review. The fantasy theme makes them fun to maintain.

-
Ripen
Controlled container updates for Portainer and Compose. Ripen waits for an image to reach a minimum age before updating a service, then rolls back if health checks fail.
DetailsA Go CLI and daemon with signed releases. Pins updates to specific image digests and can propose changes through Git for review.

Comicarr
A self-hosted app for comic and manga collectors. Tracks new releases and organizes downloaded issues into a personal library.
DetailsA React interface with filters for reading progress and series status, plus a weekly pull list for new releases.
Approach
How I work
Plan accessibility with the interface
I include keyboard behavior and focus management in the interface spec, alongside contrast and labels. Leaving accessibility until after design approval makes it easier to cut.
Use AI where the work benefits
I use AI for migration planning and verification, including repeatable checks during code review. At Luxury Presence, I built validation skills for design-system migrations.
