She has led frontend feature development and UX quality efforts at startups and enterprises—shipping collaborative real-time canvas features with React, TypeScript, Yjs, and PixiJS and driving measurable business impact such as lift in revenue and adoption metrics.

Comfortable across fast-paced startups and large orgs, she mentors junior engineers and conducts technical interviews to raise hiring bar and team capability. Notably, her PixiJS-based secure view-only presentation mode reached 86% of a ~9k user base within weeks, reflecting an ability to deliver widely adopted, polished UX.
