Software Engineer
Frontend engineer building with AI. React, TypeScript, and whatever ships.
About
Frontend engineer with a bias toward shipping.
Six years of building interfaces. Component systems, real-time dashboards, native mobile apps. React and TypeScript are my core, but I go wherever the problem takes me.
Right now I'm focused on the intersection of frontend and AI. Building tools that use language models to solve real problems, not just demo well.
