Leonardo.ai

Frontend Tech Lead · Oct 2024 – May 2026

I led the frontend for the squad behind two of Leonardo's biggest AI features, Flow State and Blueprints, and grew the team along the way. I also led work on performance, engineering standards and security.

What I worked on

Build

Flow State

Type a rough idea and scroll through an endless stream of images based on it. Made for exploring before you know exactly what you want.

Build

Blueprints

Ready-made AI recipes. Fill in a few simple steps and get a finished result, with no prompt writing needed.

Build

Faster generation history

Making generation history, where people go back to everything they've made, fast again, and untangling the React components behind it.

Leadership

Building the team

How I helped my engineers own their work and grow into bigger roles, while still logging off on time.

Leadership

Engineering standards

Clear frontend standards with dos and don'ts and real examples, taught through talks at the weekly knowledge share.

Leadership

Secrets in one place

Moving all our secrets into AWS, so that if there's ever a security breach, every one of them can be rotated from one place.

Leadership

Automatic security updates

Automating package updates whenever a security vulnerability is found, so fixes go in quickly instead of waiting for someone to notice.
