Full-stack developer based in Wakefield, MA with an academic background in astrophysics.
I build architecture-driven, versioned systems with a focus on: β Most notably, evolving Readr from an offline-first app into a secure, multi-user, API-backed system.
- Data integrity and ownership boundaries
- CI-backed testing and validation
- Clear separation of concerns
- Long-term maintainability
Architecture-driven rewrite of an offline-first application into a secure, multi-user, API-backed system.
- Backend (v2.0.0): Express + Prisma + PostgreSQL with CI-backed validation
- Frontend (v2.1.0): React + TypeScript rebuild with strict behavioral parity guarantees
- Persistence (v2.2.0): Migration from localStorage β API-backed data layer
- Identity (v2.3): Authentication, per-user data ownership, and secure import/export with rollback guarantees
Focus areas:
- System evolution and migration strategy
- API boundary design and schema validation (Zod)
- Full-stack testing (Vitest, Supertest, CI)
- Data integrity and ownership enforcement
Vanilla JavaScript application evolved across nine releases (v1.0βv1.9).
- Local-first data modeling (
localStorage) - JSON import/export workflows
- Search, filtering, and analytics
- Accessibility and UX refinement
Demonstrates iterative development and architectural groundwork for v2 migration.
Contributed to frontend development for a HIPAA-compliant communication platform.
Focus areas:
- Privacy-aware UX design for regulated workflows
- Maintainable component structure and UI consistency
- Clear documentation for team collaboration
