Story arc

How this shipped

Where I learned to build at scale and lead teamsThree beats: what pressed against the work, how the stack answered, and what changed once it was live.

I · Constraint

The brief

Led a team of 3-4 developers across 6+ production sites for a client while establishing consistent design patterns and development workflows.

II · Build

The craft

Built a unified design system and component library from scratch. Implemented modern Next.js architecture with Strapi CMS, established code review processes, and mentored junior developers on TypeScript and React best practices.

III · Proof

What moved after launch

6 production sites launched and maintained. Shared component library reduced cross-site development time. Mentored junior developers on TypeScript and React patterns.
