About Me

I am a software engineer with over 7 years of experience specializing in scalable web applications and premium, high-performance user interfaces. My approach marries structural, highly rigorous backend engineering with an uncompromising eye for frontend polish and editorial design. When I'm not writing code, I'm exploring architectural photography or contributing to open-source tooling.
