ABOUT ME
I'm a software engineer who sees things from a different angle.
I've been building for the web for over a decade — leading teams and shipping products, both giving direction and working hands-on in the code. Lately I've been leaning into what I enjoy most: building tools, services, and abstractions that save people time and energy, and free them up to focus on the areas their skills and expertise can really make an impact.
I love to strategize — whether I'm sketching out backend flows, designing intuitive UI, or optimizing my traffic flow in a city-builder. I see patterns in everything, and I'm drawn to solutions that balance structure and practicality — accounting for the future without getting lost in the pursuit of perfection.
When I'm not coding, you'll likely find me behind a drum kit, nerding out over basketball analytics, or cooking a massive breakfast buffet.

EXPERIENCE TIMELINE
I got started with C++ and C#, then spent years working deeply with PHP. As the frontend landscape has matured, I've found myself increasingly drawn to TypeScript — and it’s been a natural fit.
