Building interfaces that ship

I'm a frontend engineer with 4 years of experience building production UIs for EdTech, thrift/fintech, and operations platforms. I care about clear structure, accessible interactions, and polish that holds up in real products.

Recent work includes educator communities, offline exam-center tooling, and staff dashboards where speed and trust matter as much as visuals. I work end-to-end when needed, from setup and design through frontend and backend integration.

Clean architecture

Maintainable frontends teams can extend without fear.

Performance first

Fast loads and smooth interactions under real traffic.

Product thinking

Flows shaped around how people actually work.

Crafted details

Spacing, motion, and states treated as product work.

1.Marketing landing: socio-professional home for educators

myStaffroom

Socio-professional network for educators across schools

A socio-professional home for educators (teachers, school administrators, and peers in education) to share insights, join topic rooms, connect, and build portfolios. Owned end-to-end: setup, design, frontend, and backend. Core community features were migrated here from Phenomenon Edu Impact; courses are on the roadmap and still coming soon.

Contribution

  • Marketing landing and educator auth (signup, login, password reset)
  • Community feed: categorized posts, likes, comments, report/share, image or video
  • Rooms: discover and join topic communities, private invites, join-request approve/decline
  • Connect: discover educators, connection requests, and direct messages
  • Educator profiles and settings: portfolio tabs, notification prefs, PWA install and push
  • Admin moderation: reports, member status, and room oversight for Super Admin and Community Manager

Proudest part is owning the whole stack in one Next.js app: MongoDB, Resend, Pusher, Cloudinary/S3, and web-push, so feed, rooms, and moderation hang together as one product.
