64% Load Time Reduction in Key Workflow Page
The order management view was making a large blocking request that held up the entire page load. I decoupled the prescription history fetch from the core order data request so urgent information loads first, added a loading state for the prescription search field, and lazy loaded the organization list by reusing an existing request rather than adding a new dependency. The result was a 64% reduction in XHR load time, from 7,560ms down to 2,718ms.
Order Cancellation Feature
Users had no way to cancel orders they had already submitted from a particular order origin. An endpoint and backend path for programmatic cancellations already existed, but this origin had no UI access point. I researched the full lifecycle of the cancellation request to understand where the entry point needed to fit, then built the feature independently, owning every design and implementation decision myself. I scoped cancellations to the submitting user and limited them to eligible orders, and placed the flow in the recent activity component. Since the API reports no status when a cancellation completes, I hid the cancel button after submission to reduce accidental resubmissions. Because that does not fully prevent duplicates, I flagged the gap in my PR so it was explicitly on the team's radar rather than silently missed.
Optimistic UI Updates to Work Around an API Race Condition
After an inventory update, the UI would immediately fetch the updated values from the API but the underlying SQL query hadn't finished yet, so the old value came back. I implemented an optimistic update that reflects the change in the UI right away on a successful response, then re-fetches the real value from the API after a short delay to correct it if needed.
Fixing Transaction Sync Issues in Shipment Creation
Edge cases in the dispensing workflow were causing shipments to be created incorrectly, in some cases generating a separate shipment per item rather than one unified shipment. The root issue was that transaction statuses could fall out of sync across a workflow. I added validation to compare statuses across related transactions and return early with an error when inconsistencies were detected, preventing bad data from propagating. I also ensured that on a successful manual shipment, all associated transactions are marked as shipped together.
Tracking Down an API Refund Amount Miscalculation
Users were receiving 1% of their intended refund. I traced the value through several layers where it was coerced between string and number, identified where precision was lost, and corrected the conversion, restoring accurate refund amounts.
Closing an API Authorization Loophole
A client reported that users on a new account type could access a restricted endpoint. I cross-referenced the SOW to confirm the intended access rules, then traced the API flow to identify the right enforcement point. I found an existing authorization pattern in the codebase and extended it to cover this case, closing off unauthorized access.
Select-All Checkbox Dropdown
Extended a select all checkbox into a dropdown that filters to items not yet attached to an invoice. The checkbox was previously binary, select all or deselect all, so adding the filter introduced multiple distinct all selected states that each had to be tracked and kept consistent. I managed checkbox and item state manually to handle this, including partial selection and mixed invoice status, and preserved the existing checkbox interaction so nothing regressed for users who did not need the filter. I also added a hover delay to keep the option unobtrusive for them.

Workflow Page Redesign
Redesigned key high traffic workflow page layout using LogRocket session recordings and heatmaps to identify friction points. Reorganized the information hierarchy to surface frequently accessed fields and reduce visual noise.

Refund Dialog Redesign
Designed and implemented a new responsive refund interface, maintaining high data density and optimizing recycle scroller functionality for a professional mobile experience.
Contextual Redirect Prompt
Identified a recurring user error where two similar actions were frequently confused. Added a contextual prompt on incorrect selection that redirects users to the intended target with a brief visual highlight. This reduces friction without disrupting the existing workflow.
Conversion funnel for personal trainer
Designed and built a responsive site for a local personal trainer, handling it end to end from design through deployment. Structured the page for conversion with a header CTA and scannable selling copy, and built a consultation scheduling form as the primary booking path.
Recipe Finder UI Design
A Figma UI design for a fitness-focused recipe finder. Designed core pages using AWS Cloudscape, an enterprise design system typically used for dashboards and data tools. The challenge was adapting it to feel approachable for a consumer-facing food app.
