Software engineer building for the web. I like fast sites, small tools, and codebases that read like good prose.

// about
I'm a software engineer with six years of experience across startups and scale-ups, currently focused on developer platforms and web performance. My happy place is the layer where product meets infrastructure: taking a fuzzy idea, shaving it down to the smallest thing that works, and making it fast enough to feel instant.
Outside of work I maintain a few small open-source tools, read systems papers I barely understand yet, and write here about the things I learn along the way.

Software Engineer · Previous Startup
First engineering hire. Built the product from prototype to production, everything from Postgres schemas to the design system.
Junior Developer · Small Agency
Shipped marketing sites and web apps for clients, and learned that boring, readable code is a feature.
