A bit
about me.

I turn messy compliance workflows into interfaces people actually use.

I've spent my whole career at Trademo, starting as an intern in December 2022 and reaching SDE-2 in April 2026. Along the way I led three B2B products from 0 to 1, moved a 30k-line codebase to TypeScript and React 18, consolidated six apps onto a shared Module Federation platform, and took ownership of enterprise auth across eight subdomains.

Most recently I've been the sole frontend engineer on our conversational AI assistant. I care about the unglamorous parts too — bundle size, Core Web Vitals, security headers, shared components, and code review — because that's what lets a small team ship like a big one.
