ABOUT
Software engineer with a deep fondness for understanding how things work—then making them work better. Interested in the craft of building systems that are not just correct, but genuinely pleasant to work with and maintain.
I am drawn to the details: the half-second load time that can be shaved, the abstraction that hides too much, the naming that tells a different story than the code. My process involves reducing complexity one careful decision at a time.
TECHNICAL_INVENTORY
BACKGROUND_PROTOCOL
01. PHILOSOPHY
Software should be readable, not just functional. Every abstraction should earn its place—if removing it makes the code clearer, it should go. I write for the next engineer, not just the next compiler.
02. METHODOLOGY
Start with the simplest thing that could possibly work. Then measure, learn, and refine. Curiosity drives most of the iteration—there's always something to understand more deeply about how a system actually behaves.
03. EXPERIENCE
Built and maintained web applications across the full stack. Contributed to open-source tooling. Comfortable working close to the metal and high up in the abstraction stack—often on the same day.
