  Positions: Design engineer, UX engineer, designer who codes, front-end, UX designer, etc.

I've always been somewhere between design and front-end. In most prior positions, I've joined as a designer and picked up engineering work along the way. Last time, that ended up as me leading frontend development alongside design at a startup; prior to that, I turned a senior design position into a design engineering position.

I'm now seeking something engineering-focused from the start, though also still open to traditional UX jobs.

Especially interested in design systems and UI platform work, but open to all opportunities. Experienced working at both super-fast-paced-startups and enterprise scale.

Not interested in cryptocurrency, blockchain, or most AI-focused companies.
