I build internal tools that spread on their own.

At Apple, I was the sole frontend architect of a data-pipeline platform that 60+ hardware engineers and factory-floor operators now depend on. Earlier: Google, Williams Sonoma, and Macy's.

Available now for staff/principal IC roles (FTE), contract engagements or consulting. Based in Vancouver; open to relocating to California for the right role.

Variation Converter for WooCommerce

Many WooCommerce stores list every color or size as a separate product. Variation Converter finds those and merges each set into one product with options. Nothing is deleted, and every change can be undone.

Groups candidates automatically by SKU family and shared name prefix, and flags price, category or label mismatches for review
Carries over each variant's SKU, prices, sale dates, stock, weight, dimensions and image
All-or-nothing saves: a failed conversion removes its partial product and leaves the catalog untouched
Splits a variable product back into simple products
