WORK EXPERIENCE
Senior Frontend Engineer (since 2025, previously Frontend Engineer) 01.2022 - 10.2026
xTiles | Technologies: React, TypeScript, Next.js, MobX, SCSS, Tailwind CSS
• Moved web app features and a shared React UI library into npm packages in small PRs to avoid
duplicating code between the web app and the Chrome extension. The code relied on the app's global
state and services and could not run on its own, so first decoupled it via an integration layer.
• Eliminated a recurring class of time zone bugs, such as wrong dates for users with negative UTC offsets:
moved dates from the deprecated Moment.js to date-fns behind one shared layer that sets the user's
time zone and locale for the whole app, added a time zone picker and a device/profile mismatch
prompt, and an ESLint rule that fails the build on direct date-fns use, with the same rule for AI agents.
• Built one universal Calendar component with week virtualization to replace separate calendars with
duplicated logic in database views and the personal planner. This sped up its integration into other
parts of the product, including time blocking.
• Helped increase MCP connection conversion for Claude and ChatGPT. Built the campaign modal: the
first version closed on an accidental outside click or Esc and never came back, so for the second one
proposed closing it only through an explicit choice in the modal.
• Built the database Timeline view from scratch, a paid feature, with drag-and-drop, resize, virtualization
and pagination; extended other Notion-style views with typed properties, linked records and rollups.
• Built features for the xTiles Web Clipper Chrome extension (10,000+ users, Manifest V3): integrations
with learning management systems (LMS: Canvas, Moodle, D2L, Blackboard) with AI-generated course
projects and Canvas PDF syllabus parsing, YouTube AI actions, Gmail "create task from thread".
• Used Claude Code for feature work, starting from written specs and implementation plans.
