About

I am a full-stack developer with 6+ years shipping web applications for startups and scale-ups. I care about clean data models, resilient APIs, and interfaces that feel instant.

Most of my work lives in the TypeScript ecosystem — Next.js and Node on the front lines, Postgres underneath. I like owning features from the first migration to the last accessibility pass.
