Full-stack engineer focused on building clean APIs and developer tooling that stays out of your way. I care a lot about the experience of using software — both for end users and the developers building it.
- Primary: TypeScript (Node.js, React)
- Also use: Python, Go
- Interests: Web apps, CLI tools, DevOps / platform work
- Building internal tooling and trying to make CI/CD pipelines less painful
- Exploring Go for CLI utilities where startup time actually matters
- Occasionally writing about API design decisions I've had strong opinions about
- Good developer experience is a feature, not a nice-to-have
- A well-designed CLI is worth the extra day it takes to get right
- TypeScript strict mode or don't bother
- GitHub: you're already here

Most of my interesting work lives in private repos, but I try to open-source the reusable pieces when they're worth sharing.
