I’m Chris — a frontend developer focused on shipping fast, engaging web experiences with modern React and Next.js. Most recently I architected a real-time skin analysis platform with sub-2-second processing and an animation system that lifted retention by 40%.

02 — About

Performance-first frontend, built with care.

Long Island, NY

I came to frontend through a long career in network administration- fifteen years of architecting reliable systems, debugging under pressure, and learning that the boring parts (latency, error states, the user’s morning) are what make a product feel real.

Today I build interfaces for AI-driven products. I care about render performance, predictable state, and animations that earn their place. I’m a peer mentor at Frontend Simplified, where I review code and run optimisation workshops for the next cohort of frontend devs.

“Attention to detail” is what my mentors said about me. I’d like to put that trait to work for your team.
