About Me

For over 17 years, I've specialized in transforming complex business requirements into elegant, high-performance web applications. Based in New York City, I architect and build full-stack solutions with a deep expertise in the React ecosystem.

My approach is centered on writing clean, scalable, and maintainable code. I am dedicated to optimizing application performance to enhance user experience, employing advanced techniques like server-side rendering in Next.js, strategic component memoization, and efficient state management to deliver tangible results.
