Building scalable, high-performance experience systems across design and engineering.
CASE STUDIES & SHIPPED PROJECTS
Delivered a production-grade “featurette” prototype to validate a new interactive editorial experience before formal requirements existed. Built with GSAP-driven interactions and structured as a modular, integration-ready system, the prototype aligned design, motion, and engineering in real time. This approach compressed time-to-market, reduced downstream engineering risk, and enabled teams to ship a high-impact experience without waiting […]
Designed and implemented a token-driven design system using theme.json to standardize UI behavior across a multi-site WordPress ecosystem for an industrial enterprise platform. Defined a single source of truth for design tokens (color, typography, spacing) and mapped them to CSS variables and reusable Gutenberg components, enabling consistent branding across differently themed sites. Built internal utilities […]
Led delivery of a time-constrained MVP for Williams Energy, transforming an unrealistic full-scope build into a structured, launch-ready product within ~6 weeks of active development. Defined and executed a clear MVP strategy, prioritizing critical user flows while deferring non-essential features. Worked ahead during holiday downtime to de-risk delivery and accelerate progress, enabling the team to […]
Resume & availability — high-impact frontend and experience systems
What happens when you build software around the way your family actually lives? I’ve spent a good portion of my career building software for other people. Recently, I started thinking more seriously about what it would look like to apply that experience to my own household. Not another productivity app. Not another collection of reminders, […]
A Calmer Way to Manage Engineering Work
Bringing projects, priorities, meetings, and code reviews into one place—without creating another system to maintain. Software engineering has become increasingly good at producing information and increasingly demanding when it comes to managing it. On any given day, I might be working across several projects, each with its own priorities, deadlines, and allocated time. Between those […]
The Rise of the AI-Supported Generalist. The role of a developer has always been expanding. Once, being full-stack meant juggling frontend and backend. Later, it meant cloud deployment, APIs, and maybe even DevOps pipelines. But if we zoom out, building a product involves far more than code. It spans client outreach, design, testing, documentation, analytics, […]
In early June I stumbled across Layouts.dev, a visual layout builder that offered a fast way to scaffold UIs with drag-and-drop ease. The concept was great—but I wanted something more open, developer-first, and extensible. Something that could be used like a real tool, not just a toy.
That moment kicked off a journey to create Spindle—a blazing-fast, open-source layout builder designed for engineers to prototype components and templates with minimal friction. This blog post walks through the inspiration, research, naming conventions, and technical planning that shaped Spindle into a real, usable tool.

(Even Though I Could Use Anything Else) As a frontend engineer with years of experience across JavaScript frameworks, headless CMS architectures, and static site generators, I often get asked: “Why are you still using WordPress for your own site?” It’s a fair question—especially when tools like Next.js, Astro, Sanity, and even Notion-as-CMS are all gaining […]

Led the end-to-end development of an experience-driven “scrolly-telling” template for the Salesforce Blog, transforming static long-form content into an interactive, high-retention experience system. Operated with limited design fidelity and high ambiguity, defining architecture, component strategy, and implementation approach within a WordPress Gutenberg environment. Delivered a modular, reusable template featuring scroll-based interactions, AI-powered summaries, and performance-conscious […]
