Full-stack engineer focused on developer tools, infra, and the boring parts that make products fast.

$ whoami

Eight years across early-stage startups and big-co teams. Comfortable from React all the way down to the database. I prefer fewer abstractions, faster builds, and code reviews that catch real things.

How I work

  1. 01

    Understand

    Get clear on the actual problem and the constraints.

  2. 02

    Spike

    Smallest end-to-end thing that proves the approach.

  3. 03

    Harden

    Tests, telemetry, and the edge cases the spike skipped.

  4. 04

    Hand off

    Docs and a runbook so the team can own it from day one.
