Design director & engineer

I've led design as a startup's creative director and shipped production code as an engineer — professionally fluent in both. That rare overlap gives me an eye for UX and product most engineers don't have.

Fearless across the stack

Frontend is home base, but unfamiliar domains — backend, mobile, infra — excite me rather than scare me. I dive in, figure it out, and have the shipped work to back it up.

Creator of Effex

When the right tool doesn't exist, I build it. Effex is my own reactive UI framework, built on Effect.ts — and it's what powers this very site.
