About

Staff Engineer & AI Lead

I’m a Staff Engineer & AI Lead at Verbit.ai, with over 10 years of experience building and scaling modern web and mobile applications.

I lead UI infrastructure, architecture, and front-end strategy across multiple products — focusing on performance, accessibility, CI/CD automation, and an AI-first approach to development.

I’m passionate about mentoring engineers, improving developer experience, and driving cross-team alignment between product, design, and architecture.

Impact areas

What I do

Architecture & UI infrastructure

I design scalable front-end foundations: patterns, shared components, performance budgets, and integration boundaries that keep teams moving fast.

Performance & accessibility

I treat speed and a11y as product quality. I build systems that are measurable, testable, and maintainable over time.

DX & CI/CD automation

I improve developer experience through automation, guardrails, and feedback loops: tests, linting, a11y tooling, and build pipelines.

Mentoring & cross-team alignment

I mentor engineers, build hiring/onboarding systems, and align product, design, and architecture so teams can ship with confidence.
