I like hard problems, direct thinking, and software that holds up.

My practice sits between engineering depth and product judgment. The goal is not more software. It is the right software.

  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • GraphQL
  • Python

Product engineering

I turn fuzzy ideas into focused interfaces, dependable systems, and code teams can keep working with.

React and Next.js

I care about the details people feel: navigation, speed, accessibility, and the quiet edges of an interaction.

Applied AI

I build with models where they improve the product, and skip them where ordinary software is the better answer.

Ideas I needed to write down.

Next.js 16.3: Instant Navigations and Partial Prefetching

My take on Next.js 16.3's Instant Navigations and Partial Prefetching: what changed, why route shells matter, and where I would try the new model first.

Open source

Building for the community.

I contribute to open-source tools, libraries, and apps that make useful software accessible to everyone.

If your project could use another engineer, send it my way. I am especially interested in work that stays free to use.
