Full-stack engineer, AI agent wrangler, and professional casual gamer.

For two years I acted as technical lead for LottieFiles' plugins team. I build board games when nobody's watching.

open to senior / staff roles

What that looked like

I owned roadmap, architecture, code review and every production release across 10+ plugin surfaces, from Figma and After Effects to Canva, Framer, Webflow and VS Code. That came to 200+ releases, and Figma plugin installs passed 1M+ during my tenure.

I built the agent infrastructure the team worked inside: instruction architecture, a custom skills library, autonomous issue-driven development loops, and AI-in-the-loop render verification wired into the definition of done. Designers adopted it too, not just engineers.

The After Effects render error rate fell from ~4% to ~0.3% once I isolated the failure classes. On the Figma side, export failures stopped being dead ends and started explaining themselves.
