About Me

I'm Zoe. I'm a frontend engineer with a background in design, I studied Web Design & New Media at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. That foundation shapes how I approach code: I don't just think about whether something works, but whether it feels right.

My focus is on the React ecosystem: TypeScript, Remix, Next.js, with a particular interest in web performance and developer experience. I enjoy the challenge of making complex interfaces feel simple and fast, whether that's optimizing Core Web Vitals or engineering state management systems that scale.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring the intersection of technology and creativity, always looking for ways to bridge the gap between engineering precision and design intuition.
