Experience
Custom React Component Library
Led the development of a comprehensive React-based component library using TypeScript, featuring 46 fully customizable components. The library is built with 95% custom code, incorporating a minimal Radix UI footprint. I leveraged design tokens and integrated Tailwind UI for consistent styling and responsive design. This project aimed to provide a robust, reusable set of UI components to enhance development efficiency and maintain design consistency across applications. The library supports flexible theming and customization, ensuring adaptability to various project requirements.
Cloud Networking Application

This platform ensures secure, encrypted connectivity for private applications across on-premises and cloud environments. Key functionalities include secure B2B SaaS integrations, branch office connectivity, and zero-trust policies with end-to-end encryption. I implemented JWT token authentication, IAM users, and Stripe payment integration, ensuring robust security and seamless financial transactions.
Interactive LED Light Bar Selection

The app allows customers to customize their voltage, select various LED light bars, and view real-time calculations of total watts, amps, and pricing.

This project enhanced user experience by providing interactive product selection and streamlined purchasing processes.

jQuery Component Library
Developed an ADA-compliant, jQuery-based shared component library for a major financial organization. This library is essential for creating all public-facing content and marketing material, ensuring accessibility and usability. The library was later enhanced to support the development of secure pages, incorporating additional components and variants to meet security and functionality requirements. This project improved the consistency and accessibility of web content, supporting both public and secure user interactions.
