I build things for the web. My focus is on writing clean, maintainable code and creating interfaces that work well for everyone. I'm always learning new technologies and sharing what I discover along the way.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy exploring new tools, reading about web standards, and contributing to open source. I believe the best way to learn is by building and sharing knowledge with others.
How I Build
My toolkit and the philosophy behind every decision I make.
My Stack
The tools I reach for when building something meaningful
Building interfaces that feel natural
APIs that scale and perform
Streamlined development workflow
Consistent, accessible experiences
My Principles
What guides every decision, from architecture to deployment
I treat code like prose—it should tell a clear story. Future developers (including me) should understand the intent at a glance.
Every line of code affects a real person. I design for diverse users, slow connections, and accessibility needs first.
Speed isn't vanity—it's user experience. I measure, optimize, and monitor because every millisecond matters.
Technology changes fast, but fundamentals endure. I balance cutting-edge tools with battle-tested patterns.
