When My State Management Turned Into a Maze
How a Simple State Became a System I Couldn’t Trace

Hey, I turn complex systems into reliable products people actually enjoy using.
At Schneider Electric, I build and maintain production systems at scale — across product interfaces, backend services, and API integrations — mostly with TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Java.
Outside of work, I'm building Iconiq UI, a design system focused on integration components, thoughtful interactions, and developer experience.
I enjoy simplifying complexity and building product that people can trust at scale.
