Enterprise climate-analytics SaaS I helped start as one of two founding engineers, owning the frontend end to end. A React/Material UI/Vite/Zustand app with interactive maps, high-performance infinite tables and lists, and complex data visualization. Its core architecture ran five years without a major refactor.

iPad-based cloud point-of-sale platform for restaurants and retail — orders, payments, inventory, staff and reporting in one system. As frontend team lead (at MERA), I drove the web app's evolution from server-rendered Django templates and a legacy Backbone.Marionette codebase toward a modern React/Redux SPA, introducing unit testing and CI along the way.

A second-screen platform that turned passive audiences into active participants. As a speaker presented, everyone followed along on their own device — synced slides, private note-taking, live polls and Q&A, and real-time chat — all kept in sync over WebSockets. An early, ambitious take on second-screen engagement, years before it went mainstream.
