Approach

How the work gets made

Across the whole lifecycle — requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment.

Seven years building web and mobile products, the last three on a B2B platform that grew to 30+ modules without slowing down. I work across the whole lifecycle — architecture, implementation, performance, and the standards that keep a codebase coherent.
