About
I have ~5 years of experience designing and building scalable, modern applications with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and developer experience. I enjoy building end-to-end solutions across backend and frontend, obsess over developer ergonomics, and care deeply about performance and accessibility. Outside of work, I write about engineering practice and mentor folks starting out in tech.
