02. Services
I take on select freelance projects: websites, apps, and digital products where design and engineering need to work together.
If you have something you'd like to bring to life, I'd love to hear about it.
03. About
Product engineer and designer with over 10 years of experience shipping software that works as well as it looks.
I work across the full stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript on the front, Node on the back. The bit I care about most is where design and engineering meet: building interfaces that feel considered, backed by systems that hold up.
