Work Experience
2024–now
Founder, Front-End / Design Engineer (full-time)
0to9 is my independent design-engineering practice. I embed with startups, enterprises, institutions, and design studios as a Front-End / Design Engineer partner.
I typically plug into teams along three lanes:
• Front-end and design engineering: React/Next.js, TypeScript, motion, headless CMS, owning features, modules, or tracks in the roadmap
• Design systems and Storybook: tokens, components, accessibility, themeable UI and Storybook docs so engineers reuse, not rebuild
• AI / MCP integration: wiring products to OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini via Model Context Protocol, with server actions, tools, and search around real user workflows
