About
I build the layer where design and engineering actually meet.
My background spans both sides of the stack. I've shipped production engineering and led UX research, often on the same project. That combination lets me build things that hold up technically and feel right to use. I started in the music industry designing and building audio software, which gave me an early, hands-on obsession with how people interact with tools. That thread has run through everything since.
