Hey there! I\'m a Senior Frontend Engineer specializing in design systems, accessibility, and scalable architecture for large-scale platforms. With a background as a speech-language pathologist, I bring a unique lens to building inclusive, user-centered technology—particularly for users relying on assistive technologies and alternative modalities.Currently, I work across 50+ micro-frontends serving millions of daily users, focusing on Design Systems, Module Federation architecture, and WCAG compliance strategy. My toolkit includes TypeScript, Angular, React, StencilJS, and Storybook, with hands-on experience in AWS infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.I\'m CPACC certified (pursuing WAS), lead my organization\'s Frontend Community of Practice, and love mentoring engineers, championing accessibility, and solving complex architectural challenges. Whether it\'s migrating legacy systems, establishing design system governance, or building tools that make developers\' lives easier—I\'m all about creating technology that works beautifully for everyone.
