I’m Joey, a Principal UX Engineer & Web + Product Developer with 15 years of experience in UX/UI design, front-end development, and digital product strategy.

My journey in web development started in the early 2000s, designing websites with GIMP and table-based HTML/CSS on a homebuilt Linux machine. Initially pursuing Computer Science, I built and deployed dynamic web applications before shifting my academic focus to Political Science and Philosophy. Despite an early path toward law school, I chose to follow my passion for technology and design.

Since 2011, I’ve worked across startups, enterprise applications, and eCommerce platforms, building everything from marketplace applications and enterprise dashboards to custom WordPress solutions and vendor portals. My experience spans UX strategy, front-end architecture, and product development, bridging the gap between design, engineering, and business needs.

I believe in clean, purposeful design, ensuring that every element serves a function. Whether working on enterprise UX, scalable design systems, or digital product strategy, I focus on crafting intuitive, high-performance experiences that blend usability with technical execution.

I am happily married to my best friend and wife, with whom I share an amazing son. Being a father and husband is truly one of the greatest joys in my life and something I take immense pride in. In addition to my professional life, I am a passionate home cook, an enthusiastic traveler, and an avid outdoorsman. I particularly enjoy backpacking and fly fishing, which allow me to connect with nature and recharge.
