Senior software engineer focused on product, UX, and developer experience.

Problem

Authors and reviewers needed to spot changes in structured documents without comparing versions by hand or losing their place.

My role

I designed and built the comparison experience. We tested it first with product teams, then with the wider company.

Hard part

Fine-grained matching made small edits easy to follow but confused larger changes. I paired detailed comparisons with explicit replacement states, preferring an honest result to a misleading match.

Problem

Room calls lacked the accessible captions available on other clients, and their layouts needed to stay legible on different displays and as the call state changed.

My role

I was technical lead for a four-engineer workstream. I built Workplace Rooms’ first captions experience, shaped the pre-call and in-call layouts, and led the meeting-UX part of the move from C++ to React Native.

Hard part

Caption fragments changed before becoming final, so the interface assembled and revised them in real time. The C++ and React Native implementations also had to coexist during the migration.

Problem

Property teams needed to draw, measure and annotate maps, but only had a hard-to-find radius tool or a heavyweight, site-specific workflow.

My role

I led a four-engineer team through an initial release in roughly one quarter. I designed the PostGIS/Node.js spatial service and a framework-independent TypeScript library.

Hard part

Map interactions had to work with tiled spatial queries, prefetching, caching and selective invalidation. User testing also showed that text labels needed visibility rules tied to zoom.
