👋 About Me

I’m a full-stack engineer with a product mindset and a strong bias toward clarity, reliability, and maintainability.

I’ve spent my career designing, shipping, and evolving production systems - especially ones that have outgrown their original architecture.

I care a lot about:

  • clean APIs and thoughtful abstractions
  • software that’s easy for others to work on
  • balancing speed with long-term maintainability
  • building cool stuff people love to use
