Simple on
the surface.
Solid underneath.

Good software takes more than a good interface.

I work across web, mobile, and the systems behind them. From shaping application architecture to the details of a component, I care about making things reliable, reusable, and clear.

Alongside building, I mentor, interview, and help teams make thoughtful technical decisions.
