About Me

Sr. Manager, B2B Web Developer with 11+ years of experience in frontend development, DevOps, and team leadership. Currently at Dow Jones, where I received the 2025 Global Impact & Operational Excellence Award. I specialize in transforming wireframes into responsive applications using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks, with expertise in agile and DevOps practices.

My innovative solutions speak for themselves: at Medscape (WebMD), I reduced application build time from five hours to ten minutes, earning the 2023 Top Innovator Award. I've constructed and refined 30-40+ user interface applications monthly using React, JavaScript, and modern development tools, while leading teams of developers and mentoring international counterparts.

I leverage AI-powered tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude to create efficient web engineering solutions, staying at the forefront of modern development practices. My experience spans from building high-traffic B2B platforms at Dow Jones, to CMS systems at Verisk Analytics (600,000 monthly visitors), to e-commerce solutions across WordPress, Joomla, and Magento.

As a contributor to FrontendNation2025, my dedication to web development reflects my professional ethos: driving innovation, leading cross-functional teams, and sharing knowledge to elevate the entire tech industry.
