AI engineer, frontend-leaning full stack. Open to fractional CTO, contract & full-time work.
10+ years building high-performance React, Next.js & TypeScript applications for fintech, legal, media, and healthcare — with Claude Code and Cursor as daily practice, not a buzzword. I'm Nick Virden, and this is Virden Web Design.
