Experience

  1. Full Stack Software Engineer

    I architect the front end of MyMassGov — Massachusetts' front door to government services.

    Building for millions of residents means accessibility isn't a checkbox, it's the whole job.

    I led the React and TypeScript systems behind it, wired in identity verification with Experian and Socure, and built the error tooling that tells us what's breaking in production before users do.

    Along the way, I mentor a team of developers I'm genuinely proud of.
