Investors Engine
Lead Frontend Engineer · Feb 2025 – Jul 2026 · Full-stack investment research platform
I built this full-stack investment research platform end to end, with a Next.js and TypeScript frontend, real-time data interfaces, and a stack including WebSockets, Redis and Docker Compose. It brings historical ratios and charts for over 10,000 tickers into one product, with a Google Sheets extension for working with financial data.

PeopleBlox
Senior Software Engineer, LitmusBlox · Jun 2022 – May 2024 · Competency assessment platform
At LitmusBlox, I helped build PeopleBlox, a competency assessment platform, using React, Next.js and TypeScript. I established frontend conventions and tooling, led a team of five, and used Redux and RTK Query for data management, reducing API calls for cached data by 30%.
export const assessmentsApi = createApi({
reducerPath: "assessments",
baseQuery: authedBaseQuery,
tagTypes: ["Competency", "Review"],
endpoints: b => ({
getFramework: b.query({
query: id => `/frameworks/${id}`,
providesTags: ["Competency"],
keepUnusedDataFor: 300,
}),
submitReview: b.mutation({
query: body => ({ url: "/reviews", method: "POST", body }),
invalidatesTags: ["Review"],
}),
}),
});
// Redux holds UI state only. Server state lives here.Design Engineering

Notes on frontend architecture, AI-assisted workflows, and the tools I put through real work.
Five years of frontend, two of them responsible for other people's code.
I specialise in React, Next.js and TypeScript, building performant interfaces backed by architecture a team can actually maintain. I've led a frontend team of five, set conventions and tooling for new products, and shipped a full-stack platform end to end on my own. I write about the work, and lean on AI-assisted workflows to move faster without giving up rigour. Off the clock: long walks around Niagara and too many coffees.
