About me

Developer, writer, thinker.

I build and ship products end to end โ€” and I care about the whole thing, from the data model to the last hover state.

My home turf is React/Next and the modern full stack JavaScript ecosystem โ€” clean APIs, solid data models, and interfaces that feel fast. Lately a lot of that is AI work: LLM-powered features, agents, and the plumbing that turns model output into product value.

When I'm away from the editor, I write โ€” essays, notes, and free-time thinking on my blog. Curiosity is the throughline: understand how something works, then rebuild it a little better.
