• Implemented the Connectors management interface end-to-end, built on a dynamic, easily extensible form system with custom interactive inputs.
• Built complex, desktop-grade UI components, including resizable data tables with virtualised rendering that stay smooth across massive datasets.
• Engineered safety-critical admin flows — granular role-based access control, resilient error recovery, and quorum-aware cluster shutdown and failover controls.

Kurrent UI Kit & Handbook

Contributed to Kurrent's migration from the legacy Stencil design system to @kurrent-ui/kit — a shared Svelte 5 library powering core application interfaces. Initiated the development of the UI Handbook, establishing a team-wide standard for UX patterns and coding guidelines.

• Ported and redesigned legacy Stencil components to Svelte 5, prioritizing WCAG accessibility compliance, proper keyboard navigation, and focus-trapping behaviors.
• Developed advanced layout and input controls, including custom card-selection fields, transition-safe layout grid systems, and responsive data tables for queue and cluster administration dashboards.
• Created interactive preview tools for the design system's playground, enabling developers to search and inspect design tokens, theme colors, and icons in real time.
• Initiated and built the team's UI Handbook as an Astro-based Starlight site, defining canonical guidelines for layout spacing, destructive-action safeguards, and product copywriting.

AI Training Engineer (Code Quality)

Reviewed and annotated frontend code submissions to support the training and evaluation of AI-driven code agents.

• Reviewed and annotated submissions with a focus on Svelte and modern JavaScript frameworks.
• Identified bugs, architectural issues, and quality improvements through detailed, standardized code review annotations.
• Collaborated on calibration and workflow optimizations to ensure consistent evaluation standards and high signal quality within a transparent, async, and distributed environment.

Locking System Configurator

Designed and delivered the complete frontend architecture and user experience for a complex locking system configurator as part of a major e-commerce redesign.

• Built a custom design system ensuring visual and interaction consistency across components — now adopted by the wider engineering team.
• Delivered a fully localized, WCAG-compliant experience in English and German with contextual in-app help guidance system.
• Partnered with stakeholders to refine configurator design through iterative feedback cycles, ensuring practical alignment with business workflows.

Developed with SvelteKit, emphasizing responsiveness and modularity. The design system established becomes a core reference for the platform's frontend development.

Dusk Web Wallet

Contributed significantly to the development and maturation of Dusk's Web Wallet, a critical privacy-focused tool for the Dusk ecosystem, from advanced development through robust 1.0 release and subsequent feature enhancements.

• Implemented core features including dark mode support, auto-sync mechanisms, and w3sper.js integration for improved usability and reliability.
• Led platform modernization with SvelteKit 2 and Vite 5 upgrades, ensuring long-term performance and maintainability.
• Developed partial unstaking, reward claiming, and multi-profile account switching capabilities to enhance user asset management.
• Supported transition to open-source model, enabling community-driven feature development and improved product transparency.

Dusk Explorer

Played a pivotal role in the development and launch of the new Dusk Block Explorer, delivering real-time blockchain insights through a performant, responsive interface. Achieved sub-800 ms load times through performance optimization.

• Developed Account and Provisioners pages providing detailed views of balances, transaction histories, staking details, and rewards.
• Delivered critical performance enhancements by re-architecting transaction data retrieval — transitioning to parallel API execution and consolidating into optimized GraphQL queries.
• Enhanced data visibility with stake maturity information, transaction nonce data, and transfer direction indicators.
• Improved user convenience with features like copy-to-clipboard and streamlined navigation patterns.

BWRE Capital Bond Investment Platform

Developed the complete frontend for BWRE Capital's tokenized bond investment platform. The €3.5 million offering, exclusive to qualified investors, was oversubscribed and sold out in under two hours, with secondary-market liquidity provided through the NPEX stock exchange.

• Built frontend architecture integrating DUSK token holdings, through which BWRE offered higher bond yields to token holders — bringing DeFi-style returns to a regulated asset.
• Implemented compliant KYC/AML flows via Onfido integration and seamless third-party wallet connectivity using web3modal.
• Designed intuitive Portfolio page providing clear visibility of bond investments and generated yields.
• Delivered under tight timeline while ensuring scalability for easy expansion of future bond offerings.

Couchbase Capella

Played a key role in Capella's evolution, delivering award-winning innovations that drove significant business growth—23% YoY revenue increase to $142.9M in fiscal 2023, recognized as Best Cloud Data Management Solution 2023-2024.

• Led strategic technology migration — React to Svelte transition — enhancing performance and developer experience while maintaining visual consistency.
• Implemented enhanced replication capabilities and improved Single Sign-On during a period of rapid platform growth that also saw the introduction of Capella iQ (AI coding assistant).
• Expanded cloud infrastructure support across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including App Services and Private Link for enterprise deployments.
• Collaborated with product and design teams to refine user workflows, contributing to platform maturity and adoption.

Dissertation Project

Comprehensive dual-platform solution addressing hay fever management and allergy research through postcode-precise environmental data — a market first at the time of launch.

• iOS app (SwiftUI) delivering postcode-precise pollen counts, health risk assessments, air quality, weather data, and research-focused questionnaires powered by Ambee API and ResearchKit.
• Ruby on Rails web application enabling researchers to manage participants, analyze data, and export findings in Excel format.
• Integrated ResearchKit, a framework adopted by leading healthcare institutions including Stanford and Johns Hopkins Universities, enabling research-grade data collection.
