Frontend Engineer · Hartford, CT · Code with purpose, design with empathy.
I build interfaces that work for everyone: keyboard users, screen reader users, people on slow phones, and the engineers who maintain the code after me. My work sits where three disciplines meet: accessibility, design systems, and web performance. I write almost everything in TypeScript.

 Accessibility is a requirement, not a phase at the end. I build to WCAG 2.2 AA using semantic HTML first and ARIA only where it is needed. Every flow gets tested with a keyboard and a screen reader, not only with automated audits. |
 Tokens, typed component APIs, and documented patterns in Storybook make the correct choice the easiest one. When the system is good, a team can ship quickly without losing consistency. |
 Performance is part of the user experience. I use code splitting and dependency audits, measure the results, and make rendering cheaper. I also treat the bundle size as a budget with a limit. |

A TypeScript library for rendering accessible fractions with MathML, so learners using assistive technology hear math correctly instead of a sequence of symbols. It is used across 150+ educational websites. npm install fractionability

I'm open to work on accessible products, design systems, and frontend architecture. If your team wants an interface that is fast, consistent, and usable by everyone, let's talk.
