I build fast, thoughtful interfaces — then work backwards to understand the systems that power them.
Front-end engineer with three years of experience building and shipping products. Lately, I've been working deeper into the stack — backend and AI, mostly with Python — because I want to understand more than just the interface.
I care about the seam where design meets engineering — where most of the interesting problems live. A design that can't survive contact with real data isn't finished, and an implementation that quietly drops the details isn't either.
I'm drawn to problems where the interface is only the visible part. The more I build, the more interested I become in the systems, decisions, and trade-offs underneath.
