Summary

Front-end engineer with 3+ years shipping production front-end code and CMS integrations, and 6+ years building the design systems that feed them.

I work where design meets engineering: translating Figma systems into reusable components, building and integrating CMS platforms (HubSpot, Drupal, .NET), and using AI-assisted tools (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as a core part of my workflow.

Today I lead front-end consistency across FIRST’s applications and drive its Drupal-to-HubSpot CMS migration.
