I am a software developer interested in the intersection of design and engineering. My work spans web applications, developer tools, and distributed systems.

I believe in building software that is fast, accessible, and thoughtfully crafted. Most of my time is spent writing TypeScript and Go, exploring new patterns in web architecture, and contributing to open source.

When I am not coding, you will find me reading about systems design, experimenting with new frameworks, or writing about what I have learned along the way.
