About Me

I'm a full-stack developer with over six years of experience building products for startups and agencies. I specialize in modern web technologies and care deeply about performance, accessibility, and developer experience.

Currently, I work as a senior engineer at a fintech company where I lead frontend architecture and design system development. Outside of work, I contribute to open-source projects and write about frontend engineering.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me hiking mountain trails, experimenting with film photography, or reading about cognitive science and design.
