About
I'm a web developer focused on building fast, minimal interfaces. I care about performance, clean code, and shipping things that work.
Currently working with Astro, TypeScript, Tailwind, and whatever else gets the job done without getting in the way.
When I'm not coding, I'm probably in a terminal tweaking my dotfiles or reading about systems design.

House rules
- 01. Ship small. Ship often.
- 02. Boring tech beats clever tech.
- 03. Performance is a feature.
- 04. Say no before the kickoff, not after.
- 05. The mysterious iPad bug always wins. Budget for it.
