Biography
Ten years in the trenches — UI, APIs, and the messy middle.
I started as a frontend engineer and kept pulling backend work because products break at the seams. PropTech CRMs, travel GDS flows, textile ERPs, quiz social — same habit: own the path from click to database.
These days I lead delivery on larger platforms: clear interfaces, boring-reliable deploys, and mentoring so the next person can move faster than I did.
01
End-to-end ownership
Schema, API, UI, deploy — fewer handoff gaps, fewer “works on my machine” surprises.
02
Ship under constraint
Small teams, legacy code, tight deadlines — still land something users can click.
03
Raise the floor
Pairing, reviews, and patterns so juniors stop repeating my early mistakes.
04
AI as a tool
Use LLMs to move faster on boilerplate — keep judgment on architecture and product calls.
The Process
How the work usually goes
01
Listen first
Talk to the people stuck in the workflow. Map constraints before picking a stack.
- Stakeholder chats
- Code & data audit
02
Sketch the system
Boundaries, schema, failure modes. Enough design to build — not a 40-page deck.
- Interfaces
- Data model
03
Build the path
Ship the vertical slice users feel. Iterate with real feedback, not ceremony.
- Working software
- Tight reviews
04
Harden & hand off
Tests, perf, deploy path, docs someone else can run at 2am.
- CI/CD
- Load & regression
Selected Projects
Work that paid rent — not demos.

How I work
Less ceremony.
More shipped software.
I care about the path from a vague ticket to something a user can click — schema, API, UI, deploy. Pretty decks optional.
