Engineering leader.
Still shipping.
Ten years at Tracxn — joined as an engineer in 2015, now VP, Technology. This year: a customer-facing AI assistant and the API documentation portal it lives in. On the side, microcharts — 106 word-sized chart types for React.
By the numbers
How the work gets done
Hands-on, most days
Primarily building right now. The AI wave made it far faster to take an idea to something real — so I'm back in the code.
Hiring & interviewing
Deep in the frontend hiring loop — full-loop interviews, and shaping the rubric we hire against.
Technical direction
Architecture reviews, RFCs, framework upgrades, codemods — the calls that keep a long-lived codebase moving.
Cross-team delivery
Work that cuts across app, platform and infra teams. The AI assistant and docs portal is the current one.
Mentoring & growth
1:1s, direction, and clearing blockers — coaching people forward, not running a process.
Culture & craft
Cursor and Claude Code conventions, review standards, Storybook hygiene — the defaults the team inherits.

Aborting a fetch request
The AbortController API, the gotchas, and why your dropdowns flicker without it.
