About

A quick snapshot of how I work and what I optimize for.

I build frontends that stay maintainable under real product pressure: clear component boundaries, predictable state, and performance that holds up as features grow. I’m comfortable owning features end-to-end in remote setups and collaborating with product, design, and backend teams across time zones.
