About Me

Personal website: https://bynight.studio/ My journey began in 2017 in frontend and full stack software development, where I built a strong foundation in clean architecture, system logic, and intuitive UI UX design. Over time, my focus naturally evolved into high level frontend strategy, realizing the power of scalable design systems to transform complex platforms into seamless user experiences. With experience as a lead frontend architect, I have spearheaded major web platform overhauls and led a small team of developers to build modern, scalable web ecosystems. I remain AI agnostic and hyper focused on continuous improvement, constantly leveraging modern tools to streamline workflows and elevate code quality. Moving forward, I am eager to continue expanding my skills in modern web frameworks, extending myself further into backend development, especially within the Backend for Frontend (BFF) layer, exploring cutting edge AI integrations into developer workflows, and building high impact digital experiences. Let us connect!
