I am experienced with relevant web technologies (React, ThreeJS, Javascript, Typescript, CSS) and have excellent front-end debugging skills and the ability to build and optimize for performance. I have worked collaboratively with designers, product managers, and engineers to break down high-level features into technical specifications, engineering tasks, and timelines, and I am passionate about inventing patterns and reusable components that can be used to build new features. Additionally, I have maintained high standards through code review and collaboration with other engineers, and I have a strong product and design sensibility that allows me to perfect the details that matter most to users.
