UI Architect • Full Frontend Ownership

Visit Aries.com ↗

As UI Architect, I have end-to-end ownership of the complete Aries frontend web stack. I lead the architectural evolution of our high-performance trading workspace, two-thread Web Worker architecture, design systems, AI/voice trading agents, compliance onboarding, and high-rigor quality standards.

• Infinite Canvas & Real-Time Cross-Browser Synchronization

✓Engineered the flagship Infinite Canvas trading environment: 60fps freeform 2D pan and zoom viewport, responsive widget rail, prebuilt workspace templates, and dynamic widget visibility management enabling traders to build custom multi-monitor desk setups.
✓Architected real-time cross-browser and multi-tab content synchronization: leveraged deterministic state replication and cross-context message channels (BroadcastChannel and WebSockets) so active symbol selection, chart timeframes, canvas coordinates, and widget linking stay instantly synchronized across multiple browser windows, tabs, and displays without race conditions.
✓Engineered bi-directional widget linking (synchronizing symbol context across charts, order book, depth ladder, and options chain) combined with a two-thread Web Worker architecture offloading market data feeds to maintain steady 60fps canvas interaction under heavy tick volume.
✓Delivered major trading workflows on the canvas: complete order rewrite, order API modernization, fractional market orders, dollar/share equity orders, short/cover stock orders, SPX/SPXW weekly option contracts, and Active Trader enhancements.

• AI-Assisted Development & Engineering Velocity

✓Pioneered AI-assisted engineering workflows across the frontend stack: leveraged LLM coding agents, semantic refactoring pipelines, and automated codemods to accelerate feature delivery and technical debt elimination.
✓Modernized 314 legacy files to 100% strict TypeScript compliance in record time using AI-assisted type inference and strict interface generation with zero runtime regressions.
✓Accelerated test suite expansion via AI pair-programming and synthetic mock generators, driving unit test coverage from low legacy baselines to 80% and 90%+ across core business libraries.
✓Standardized AI developer tooling and prompt guardrails, including MCP (Model Context Protocol) key generation workflows to power agentic trading analysis and internal operational tooling.

• Native AI Trading Chat & Multimodal Voice Systems

✓Built out native AI chatbox integration with streaming token delivery, tool-call visualization, and interactive embedded tables/charts inside conversational threads.
✓Integrated full voicebot experience with animated voice orb UI, real-time interim transcript streaming, guest AI access control, and citation hover cards.
✓Designed terms consent, prompt guardrails, and compliance telemetry for conversational trading workflows.

• Design System & Frontend Modernization

✓Led full stack frontend modernization: shadcn UI migration, shared design component adoption, typography/font standardization, design tokens, and modular package extraction.
✓Created and hardened 'aries-web-library': package setup, automated release pipeline, tokens/fonts, icons/utils, AG Grid wrapper, date pickers, creatable selects, phone input, CSS variables palette, and externalized dependencies.
✓Built data-heavy market surfaces: prediction market widgets, interactive finance widgets, screener heat maps, earnings & economic calendar widgets, and dynamic account info visibility.

• FinTech Onboarding & Client Center Operations

✓Advanced user onboarding: redesigned registration funnel, common & joint-account layouts, instant bank setup via Plaid Layer, mid-desk registration, entity accounts, personal trust, and member/trustee workflows.
✓Delivered Client Center operations: full redesign, activity tab with high-throughput AG Grid table, CSV/PDF statement exports, ACH & wire transfers, bank selection/nicknames, MCP key generator, and My Account business page.

• Engineering Rigor & Quality Systems

✓Raised automated unit test coverage from low thresholds to 80%, then to 90%+ across core business packages.
✓Implemented automated E2E CI pipelines, eliminated unit-test warnings, standardized deployment & hotfix workflows, and patched all critical/high dependency alerts.
