01.About Me
I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer with 8+ years building scalable web platforms for enterprise and commerce products. I specialize in React, TypeScript, and Node.js, with a strong focus on frontend architecture, design systems, and API integration patterns.
I'm experienced in leading teams, defining engineering standards, and designing systems that scale across distributed teams. Whether it's architecting a multi-team commerce platform, building middleware layers, or establishing shared component libraries, I focus on solutions that balance speed with long-term maintainability.
My key focus areas include frontend architecture, commerce platforms (Shopify, Magento), design systems, and building scalable web applications. I'm comfortable working across the full stack and making architectural decisions that impact entire engineering organizations.

03.Featured Projects
Featured Project
SvgIn-React Library
An open-source React library for securely fetching and inlining untrusted SVGs as components, working in client, server, and RSC contexts. SVG markup is sanitized with DOMPurify by default, dynamically imported so it never ships in the bundle unless it's actually used. Separate client, server, and core entry points keep the package tree-shakeable, and the whole API is TypeScript-first.
- ▹Built a security-first sanitization layer using DOMPurify
- ▹Split the package into client, server, and core entry points for tree-shaking
- ▹Designed a TypeScript-first API with full type coverage
- ▹Added in-memory caching and a preload API to cut redundant fetches
- React
- TypeScript
- DOMPurify
- tsup
- Node.js

04.Currently Building
Grand Tour
A Next.js travel app that turns a trip idea into an AI-generated route on an interactive Leaflet map. Guests get no database at all, plans live in localStorage, and shared trips are stored as TTL-based links in Upstash Redis. The free tier limit is enforced at three separate layers so it can't be bypassed from the client.
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- Leaflet
- Upstash Redis
- Tailwind CSS
StoreBridge
A Shopify embedded app for bulk migrating and syncing store data across multiple Shopify stores. Built on Shopify's Bulk Operations API, with Redis as the sole persistence layer instead of a traditional database.
