I craft performant, accessible, and beautifully designed web applications. Obsessed with clean architecture and pixel-perfect interfaces.

Who I Am

I'm a full-stack developer with 5+ years of experience building products that people love to use. I care deeply about the intersection of design and engineering — where every pixel is intentional and every interaction feels natural.

My stack leans heavily on the React ecosystem — Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind — but I'm equally comfortable in the backend with Node.js, PostgreSQL, and serverless infrastructure. I believe great software comes from empathy: understanding users, teammates, and the problems worth solving.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me contributing to open source, mentoring junior devs, or obsessing over espresso extraction ratios.
