I build large-scale React and TypeScript applications for financial trading platforms and global retail systems. I own architecture decisions end-to-end — from requirements to production — and raise the engineers around me while I ship.

Currently: Frontend architecture lead on a $6B+ multi-PM hedge fund trading platform at DXC Technology. Real-time trading workflows, Okta SSO, AI-assisted dev tooling, Electron/OpenFin desktop sessions.

Impact

Microfrontend migration — Global Fashion Retail 5,460 stores · 97 markets Architecture became corporate standard for all new logistics frontend work
Banking form platform — @holism/form-generator 5 teams · up to 5M users Repetitive form development reduced by ~63% across 30+ controls
