● Intro
Senior UX Engineer
I build in the space between design and engineering. |
Component APIs, design tokens, accessibility, and the UI foundations that keep products maintainable as they grow.
● About
More about me →Most recently the fourth hire and Founding UX Engineer at Mermaid, where I built the UI foundation from zero. Before that, contracted with Microsoft FAST on documentation and integration tooling.
I work between design and engineering: token systems, component APIs, accessibility, and the foundations that keep products maintainable as they grow.
I also contribute to open-source projects including Mermaid.js, Microsoft FAST, and San Diego Tech Hub.
