• Refactored the React codebases to use best practices and reduce technical debt, improving delivery time of some features by 5x
• Established testing infrastructure (Vitest + Playwright) achieving stability for critical paths

Brought in to diagnose and fix critical performance issues in client-facing applications, then extended to support feature development and establish testing practices.

• Built Playwright performance testing suite monitoring web vitals across core workflows, identifying bottlenecks causing slower load and interaction times
• Refactored application screens and architecture within frontend monorepo, resolving critical performance bottlenecks in core user journeys
• Delivered multiple features under tight deadline for v2 refactor of Birdie's rostering and finance modules
• Established end-to-end testing infrastructure using Playwright
• Created architecture and execution plan for implementing a scalable solution for Birdie's React applications

• Designed frontend architecture using React, TypeScript, and RadixUI for staff portal and client-facing applications
• Built TypeScript SDK generator from Swagger documentation, ensuring type-safe frontend/backend contracts during rapid MVP development
• Built design system foundations in Figma and code, establishing component library and design tokens
• Conducted user research with clinical and administrative teams to understand workflow pain points and accessibility requirements for neurodivergent client base
• Created interactive prototypes in Figma to validate designs before development
• Supported backend engineers with API design (Ruby on Rails) and database schema decisions for event scheduling and treatment plans

Hired to create Unit4's design system (Ripple) from scratch, establishing strategy, team, and technical foundations.

• Architected monorepo codebase using nx with CI/CD pipelines in Azure, publishing to private npm registry and deploying Storybook documentation
