Senior Full-Stack Engineer leading platform and frontend architecture at Collective. I drive code quality, build reusable frameworks, and partner across teams to ship reliable, scalable systems.

At Blend Labs, I lead high-impact engineering initiatives with emphasis on frontend architecture while delivering reliable backend systems. I’ve combined technical execution with team leadership to ship secure, scalable, and high-performance solutions for critical client workflows.

Key Achievements:

• Engineering Leadership: Led cross-functional initiatives spanning Product, Design, Compliance, and Operations. Mentored engineers, guided architectural decisions, and drove complex projects from concept to delivery.

• Frontend Expertise: Led large-scale React + TypeScript development, optimizing performance through code-splitting, lazy loading, and state management best practices. Built reusable, vendor-agnostic UI components and integrated real-time WebSocket updates for a seamless user experience.

• Full-Stack Execution: Designed and implemented APIs, WebSocket infrastructure, and event-driven services in Node.js - cutting API calls by 40% and boosting real-time responsiveness.

• Platform Migrations: Spearheaded vendor-agnostic migration to Zoom Video SDK for Blend's Remote Online Notarization product, reducing lock-in risks and ensuring seamless integration.

• Secure Document Workflows: Built compliant e-signature/document systems, automated follow-ups, and added granular permission controls to enhance security.

• System Reliability: Developed custom monitoring and debugging tools, reducing on-call incidents by 30% and halving incident resolution time.

• Tech Stack: React, TypeScript, Redux, Webpack, Node.js, Express, WebSockets, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Datadog, Splunk.
