Technical skills

Tools I have used in production frontend work, full-stack systems, AI automation, and isolated on-prem deployments.

Frontend development

Production frontend development with React 19, from component design and application structure through release.

  • React 19
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • JavaScript ES6+
  • Tailwind CSS

How I work

Three habits I bring to product and engineering teams.

Take work from idea to production

I clarify the problem, design the approach, build the feature, and stay involved through release and support.

Keep the whole team aligned

I work directly with frontend, backend, product, and users so decisions reflect the complete system.

Plan for real operating conditions

I account for deployment limits, unreliable conditions, and likely failure modes before they become production problems.

Selected work

Two focused builds across network operations and edge machine learning.

Network operations

Vision

A responsive web application for monitoring LTE cellular sites, with an interactive map and operational site data in one interface.

What I builtBuilt the Next.js frontend and Leaflet map experience, backed by Express and PostgreSQL services.

OutcomeTurned distributed eNodeB information into a focused monitoring workflow for technical users.

Edge ML prototype98 / 100

MaskPass

An automatic-door access prototype that ran a custom mask-classification model and thermal screening on edge hardware before granting entry.

What I builtTrained a binary MobileNetV2 image classifier, exported it as a quantized TensorFlow Lite model, and integrated it with OpenCV face detection, thermal sensing, and Python-controlled door hardware on a Raspberry Pi 4B.

OutcomeCompleted as my practical-engineering final project and awarded 98/100.
