Who am I?

I've guided teams, run experiments, and improved processes, all while working with modern tech like React, TypeScript, Next.js, and GraphQL. I enjoy solving problems and making sure everyone on my team grows. I'm looking for my next opportunity where innovation and collaboration come first.
