01 — Approach

A note on how
I build things.

I love diving into messy problems and actually getting stuff shipped — whether that's backend systems that don't fall over when they scale, frontends people actually want to use, or the occasional hardware project.

The best part of my work has been watching products grow from raw ideas into real businesses. I've been on the engineering side of platforms that scaled from a handful of users to hundreds of thousands — and helped raise the funding that got them there.

What drives me is really understanding what people need and then finding the simplest way to build it, regardless of what technology that means using.

I'm the kind of engineer who asks "why are we building this?" just as much as "how should we build it?"

03 — What I do

Whatever the stack,
product-first.

/01

Product Engineering

From workflow design to haptics & animations — owning the product end-to-end, not just writing code to spec.

/02

Mobile at speed

React Native MVPs that ship in a week and feel native. Push, deep links, store submissions, the works.

Backend that scales

Microservices handling millions of requests/day. Node, Go, Python — whatever fits the problem.

Frontend craft

React, Vue, Next.js. Interfaces people want to use — fast, accessible, considered down to the kerning.
