I'm a senior software engineer who likes turning rough ideas into tools people enjoy using. My background is Ruby, though more of my recent work is in TypeScript. No matter the environment, I always strive to write code that stays manageable for years. Hand me a messy problem and I'll find the edge cases nobody flagged and leave behind something the team can build on without me. I've led cross-functional teams, mentored junior engineers, and pushed for practices that outlast whoever introduced them.

Outside of work I run Ruby meetups and lead technical book clubs, because I want more people to feel like they belong in tech. I also make shoes and tend bar, slow crafts where the details are the whole job and you can't rush getting good. The same instinct carries into my code: get the small things right and the whole thing feels better to use.

Lately most of my curiosity goes into AI, how it's built, and how its adoption is changing the way we build software. I've put frontier models into production at real scale, and reshaped my own workflow around agentic tools that keep me in the loop.
