Frontend & AI-native Engineer

Building useful software from messy ideas.

I work across frontend, UI, and AI-native engineering. I turn complex workflows into clear, usable tools.

Approach

What I care about.

I care about clarity, usefulness, and the small moments people notice without realizing it. I'm drawn to clean interfaces, intuitive behavior, and problems solved in ways that feel simple.

Before tech, I spent years in nonprofit work across five countries, helping communities track and measure their impact. That shaped how I build: with empathy, intention, and a focus on people who aren't always centered in tech.

Clarity first
The simplest thing that works, not the cleverest thing I can build.
Useful over impressive
Tools people reach for on an ordinary day, not demos.
Design and code as one
I move between them without a handoff, so nothing gets lost.
