01 · About

I build the front-end people actually use.

Mostly React and TypeScript. The kind of work that ships, gets used, and stays standing.

It's been 4 years writing front-end for real products. I've worked on B2B platforms, real-time checkouts, a design system that became the base for other teams. What I enjoy most is the part nobody sees: a component that behaves the same everywhere, a page that opens fast, code the next person can read without cursing.

If it's hard to use, it's not done.

Day to day it's React, Next.js and TypeScript, plus everything around them. Design systems in Storybook, tests that catch the bug before users do, REST and GraphQL APIs. Lately I keep leaning more toward architecture and web performance.
