Source.Plus is a platform for teams curating and licensing AI training datasets. It is built for users who need strong discoverability, clear workflows, and predictable performance across data-heavy interfaces. The product solves a practical problem: making dataset discovery and curation usable at scale without sacrificing speed or UI clarity.

• Built the frontend from the ground up as the sole frontend engineer.
• Designed a modular component architecture that balanced MUI with custom design-system components.
• Implemented critical user flows including search, authentication, and form-heavy workflows.
• Integrated Elasticsearch UI, auth/session management, analytics, and monitoring.
• Collaborated closely with backend and product to shape performant, shippable UX.

• React
• Next.js
• TypeScript
• Redux Toolkit
• Elasticsearch
• Amazon Cognito
• Jest
• Testing Library
• Mixpanel
• Sentry

The project was shut down due to funding constraints, and the frontend codebase was open-sourced. The key outcome for me was proving end-to-end frontend ownership: architecture, UX execution, and operational quality in one product. It sharpened how I design systems that stay maintainable while handling real-world complexity.

Dundee Daily News was built for residents of East Dundee, IL to have a local-first source of community updates. The concept focused on accessibility and readability for everyday users, with a structure that could support recurring publishing. While the product wasn’t ultimately released, it was built as a complete full-stack application and validated the core UX direction.

• Built a full-stack news platform concept for East Dundee residents.
• Implemented frontend flows for browsing, reading, and organizing local content.
• Worked from a custom visual direction provided by a dedicated graphic designer.
• Designed the frontend structure to support future editorial workflows and scaling.
• Prepared the product for community use, despite the launch being paused.

• React
• TypeScript
• Node.js
• Full-stack
• Community Product

The project was not released after strategic decisions shifted, but it delivered strong learning around building civic/community products: keeping interfaces clear for broad audiences, collaborating with design stakeholders, and shipping pragmatically even when product direction changes.

SoundBraid is a web platform designed as a space for multimodal, experimental anthropological work. It hosts and interweaves sonic, visual, and textual materials in a way that moves beyond traditional academic formats—treating audio as central to how knowledge is created and experienced, not a secondary attachment.

The goal wasn’t a standard content site, but a space that reflects non-linear, sensory, exploratory knowledge-making. The interface needed to support ambiguity and exploration—helping users “move through” content rather than consume it in a single, linear reading path.

• Designed and implemented the full frontend experience.
• Translated abstract research concepts into usable interface patterns.
• Structured multimodal content (audio, text, visuals) so each modality felt primary—not supplementary.
• Iterated on layout and interaction to support exploration rather than linear reading.
• Worked closely with an anthropologist to align interface behavior with research intent.

• React
• TypeScript
• UI/UX
• Multimodal Content
• Accessibility

SoundBraid proved that research-driven digital experiences can be both conceptually faithful and usable. The work sharpened my ability to translate abstract ideas into interaction design, and to build content systems that invite exploration without losing clarity.
