- With Tash Canter, built a TypeScript/Node/Supabase onboarding platform for an ads/privacy company, replacing spreadsheet chaos with structured, auditable configuration for domains, GTM containers, API keys, and pixel IDs.

- Migrated editor state from monolithic Redux to Recoil to improve render performance on large projects; added continuous performance tests to catch regressions.
- Built a React/Redux drag-and-drop overlay editor for live sports graphics; reworked state mapping to keep multi-element drag and resize responsive under real editing load.
- Shipped a Dockerized iframe server in three days, wiring .NET-exported scoreboards to live Firebase data through a postMessage contract.
- Shipped a React/Go recruiting tool to production for Home Depot recruiters nationwide during my first internship.
