A bit about how I work

I like building systemsthat actually hold up in use.

Working with me

Fast iterations.

Clear tradeoffs.

Reliable delivery.

In practice

Built backend-heavy products where parsing, streaming, fallbacks, and UX all had to work together.
Comfortable taking a feature from backend logic and model behavior through to a shipped interface.
