Frontend Platform
Architecture, tooling, and delivery for a large-scale desktop application used across the firm. From feature flags to search to developer experience. I own the frontend and keep raising the bar.

Frontend engineer owning architecture, tooling, and delivery for a large-scale enterprise application. React, Electron, and a deep focus on craft.

I build internal platforms and ship features that teams depend on daily. Feature flags, search, admin tooling. I also push for better developer experience across the monorepo. If it makes engineers faster, I care about it.

Part of my role is leading AI adoption for my location. I evaluate tooling early, figure out what's practical, and help the engineers around me put it to use.

  • Created a feature flag library with A/B testing, staged rollouts, user targeting, kill switches, and analytics
  • Developed a client-side search engine querying 50,000+ items in 20ms
  • Reduced monorepo CI/CD time by 3x, saving 600+ minutes per developer per week
  • Built Admin App, a unified portal for internal tooling
  • Evaluate and drive AI tooling adoption across the Houston engineering location
  • Led a team of 6 to win best-in-class for technical excellence, design, and client success

The product didn't work out. We raised funding, joined OwlSpark/RedLabs, met with Y Combinator. Learned a lot.

Shoutout to my founding team Bryant Le, Mihir Sahu, Christian Ohanaja, and Tariq Achor Zyad for their hard work and dedication to the product.
