I build software that
ships, scales,
and stays maintainable.

I'm a software engineer focused on building product-grade systems end-to-end — from typed APIs and data pipelines through to the pixel-perfect interfaces that sit on top. My favorite problems are the ones that demand fluency in both halves.

Recently shipping with TypeScript, Go, Python, and a healthy dose of Postgres. Comfortable in AWS and on bare metal. I care about clean diffs, readable abstractions, and animations that respect the user.
