About

I'm a full-stack developer based in Seattle who likes taking tangled, clunky systems and making them run smoothly. Most of my work lives at the seam between customer-facing APIs and the web apps that consume them.

I lean on AI-augmented workflows to ship faster — prototyping, accelerating feature delivery, and strengthening code review — without losing sight of solid fundamentals like test-driven development and clean data modeling.
