Selected work
Three products, one thread: own the frontend, ship it in production.
Brevian
Senior Lead Frontend Engineer · Apr 2025 – Present · Remote
Problem. Brevian is an AI-native meeting-intelligence platform — the AI can't be a bolt-on feature, it has to be central to the product architecture itself.
Built. Owns the frontend architecture and the integration layer between the product and the AI/LLM stack. Built React/Next.js interfaces powering real-time AI assistance during live Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings. Integrated Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT, AI agents, and MCP servers exposing customer knowledge bases and external data sources. Implemented streaming LLM responses over SSE and WebSocket-based real-time comms for live transcription and AI-generated insights. Contributed to RAG pipelines for contextual retrieval, and to the Electron desktop layer that captures richer meeting context from Zoom/Teams. Infrastructure on AWS.
Result. Runs A/B tests and LLM evals to check AI features against real user behavior before they ship.

GoDaddy Website Builder
Lead Software Engineer · 2022 – 2025 · Remote
Problem. The Products Service powers shopping and online-store experiences across GoDaddy Website Builder — multiple teams building for 20M+ customers, each reinventing auth, theming and testing on their own.
Built. Led frontend architecture for the Products Service. Introduced Next.js and standardized a reusable “frontend seed” — code practices, theming, auth, i18n and testing — adopted across multiple teams. Built a shared Okta authentication package for secure, reusable login. Standardized the testing strategy with React Testing Library and Cypress. Created a design system aligned to GoDaddy's branding. Integrated REST and GraphQL backend services and third parties (Okta, Zoom, Outlook, Google, Instagram), and built the scalable shopping-experience system behind Website Builder's online stores. Also principal PR reviewer, mentored engineers, and supported sprint planning.
Result. The frontend seed and Okta package were adopted org-wide — one integration, reused, instead of every team building its own.

Cropswap Services
Lead Software Engineer · 2018 – 2020 · Remote (Cafeto Software)
Problem. Cropswap needed to connect farmers and local producers directly with buyers — starting from nothing.
Built. Led the full development process and architecture, from design through implementation and testing of the React components. Defined release strategy and best practices, and mentored the dev team. Designed the technical architecture, created reusable packages, and integrated third-party services to build the entire Cropswap ecosystem from MVP.
Result. Grew from MVP into one of the most innovative apps in its market category.

About
AI application engineering, not model training.
Senior/Lead Software Engineer with 12+ years building frontend architectures and full-stack platforms, recently evolved into AI-native product engineering. Currently leads the frontend architecture and the AI/LLM integration layer at Brevian, an AI-native meeting-intelligence platform in production — combining React/Next.js with Claude and GPT integrations, MCP, RAG, and real-time streaming (SSE/WebSockets). Previously led the frontend architecture for GoDaddy Website Builder (20M+ customers), standardizing design systems, authentication and testing strategy across teams.
The angle is deliberate: integrating LLMs, agents, MCP and RAG into real production UX — not training or researching models. Strong track record of end-to-end ownership: architecture, delivery, mentorship, and production quality.
