I'm a Senior Front-End Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building modern web applications, design systems, and standards-setting for enterprise-scale teams. My strongest work sits at the intersection of Vue, Nuxt, component libraries, and maintainable UI systems.
I also teach at the University of Cincinnati, which has sharpened how I communicate technical ideas and mentor developers.
- 🔭 Currently leading the Front-End Council at Walker & Dunlop — a shared ESLint config across 15 projects, an internal component library (20+ components, 100% test coverage), and a company-wide Storybook instance
- 🌱 Currently learning [e.g. Nuxt Content v3 / Vue Vapor mode / advanced TS generics]
- 💬 Ask me about design systems, accessibility, front-end architecture, or mentoring
- 📚 Author of Vue.js: Understanding its Tools and Ecosystem, co-author of Creating Interfaces with Bulma, and wrote a paid Vue.js tutorial series for DigitalOcean
- 🎤 Founded the CodePen Cincinnati meetup in 2017 and continue to speak at developer panels and community events
While Vue is my daily driver...I also have experience shipping production applications with React, Angular, and other stacks.
