TypeScript Platform
How I built a centralized engineering platform that unifies CI/CD, packages, utilities, and development workflows — enabling one developer to maintain multiple production-grade products consistently and efficiently.

It's so nice to meet you!
I work at the intersection of engineering, product, and interface design, building systems that help teams move faster and stay aligned.
My path into tech started in the arts: I studied fine arts with a focus on sculpture, and later minored in photography. That background still shapes how I design and build — I think in form, structure, rhythm, and the way small decisions change how something feels. It’s why I care so much about clarity, intentionality, and craft in the interfaces and systems I create.
My product development process
I follow a design-driven development approach — framing problems, constraints, and systems before writing code.
In a world where AI accelerates execution, the real leverage comes from deciding the right thing to build. My process focuses upstream: clarifying problems, surfacing tradeoffs, and designing systems that can evolve — not just ship.
