about.jsx

I like making complex things feel simple.

I'm a fullstack engineer who's happiest shipping end to end — designing the data model, wiring the API, and sweating the front-end details until the whole thing feels effortless to use.

I care about readable code, fast feedback loops, and software that holds up under real traffic. Outside of work I build small tools, read other people's source, and occasionally rewrite things that didn't need rewriting.

Currently open to fullstack and software engineering roles.
