A software engineer with a frontend bias and a designer's sensibility.

Hi — I'm Justin. I'm a software engineer who obsesses over the questions nobody explicitly asks: can another developer jump in and immediately understand this? Will it grow without a painful rewrite six months from now? Is the dev setup actually pleasant to work in?

I started coding in February 2020 at a bootcamp, landed my first engineering role in March 2021, and I've been shipping production React and TypeScript ever since. I like the part of the job where a messy problem becomes an obvious component.

Outside of work I'm spending time with my wife and kid, sneaking in a round of golf when she lets me, or deep in whatever TV show I've decided to completely obsess over this month.

Senior Software Engineer @CoreLogic property intelligence

Rebuilding the lender product's frontend from a legacy stack onto React + TypeScript. I own four core pages and most of the shared component library.

  • +01 Shipped the design-system components that power 4 of the rebuilt pages, unblocking three other squads.
  • +02 Closed 57 of 240 Jira tickets in the migration epic — consistently top-three on the team.
  • +03 Introduced Playwright coverage for the critical flows, cutting manual QA cycles roughly in half.
