About
Building interfaces that feel inevitable.
I'm a frontend architect with eight years of experience turning complex product requirements into interfaces people love to use. My work sits at the intersection of design systems, performance engineering, and motion.
I care deeply about the details that separate good products from great ones — the easing curve on a transition, the perceived speed of a load, the way a layout breathes across breakpoints.
When I'm not shipping, I'm writing about design engineering, contributing to open source, and mentoring engineers who want to bridge the gap between design and code.
