Browser-Based Systems Engineering

Browser Extensions are Systems, Not Widgets.

I design and engineer high-performance browser-based systems. From Manifest V3 migrationsto complex AI-powered sidebars, I help SaaS teams build native-feeling extension experiences.

Extension Architecture Specialties

SaaS Platform Extensions

Building deep integrations that bring your SaaS product directly into the user’s workflow on LinkedIn, Gmail, or internal dashboards.

AI Copilots & Sidebars

Engineering complex sidebar architectures with real-time LLM streaming, DOM manipulation, and secure cross-origin communication.

Automation & Workflow Tools

Designing sophisticated background script architectures that automate repetitive tasks and bridge data between siloed web platforms.

The Realities of Manifest V3

Moving to Manifest V3 isn't just a config change—it's a fundamental architectural shift. Background scripts are now Service Workers, DOM access is restricted, and network request interception has moved to declarative rules.

MV3 Performance

Optimization for the ephemeral nature of Service Workers to prevent state loss and latency.

Security & Compliance

Implementing Content Security Policies (CSP) that satisfy rigorous Chrome Store reviews.

Where Teams Usually Struggle

Extension memory leaks slowing down the host browser.
Heap profiling and event listener cleanup.
Communicating reliably between content scripts and sidebars.
Robust message passing abstractions with type safety.
Cross-browser parity (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Safari).
Cross-platform build systems (WXT / Plasmo / Custom).
Inconsistent UI injection breaking on site updates.
Shadow DOM isolation and resilient selector patterns.
