Featured Projects

AI-Powered Care Platforms

Contributed to two AI-powered platforms at A Place for Mom: a B2C care-finder helping families locate senior care facilities, and a B2B outreach tool connecting home care agencies with care-seekers via AI-driven speech/text pipelines and Twilio voice conferencing. Both shipped from prototype to production in under three months.

I've been building frontend applications professionally for over 13 years. Over the past year I've shifted to AI-native engineering — using agentic workflows with Claude and Codex to prototype rapidly and ship reliable software faster than traditional approaches allow.

At A Place for Mom I've contributed to a high-traffic Next.js platform and helped ship two AI-powered products: a B2C care-finder and a B2B platform connecting home care agencies with care-seekers. Both went from prototype to production in under three months.

I'm drawn to the developer tooling layer — tools like Storybook and Chromatic that change how engineers build and ship software. My goal is to bring AI into the development workflow itself, not just into the products developers ship.
