// about

I'm a software engineer with four years building and shipping production web and mobile apps. I work across the full stack, from the UI a user taps to the APIs behind it and the pipeline that deploys it.

I've shipped apps to the iOS App Store and Google Play, integrated Stripe subscriptions and one-time payments, and owned features end to end on small teams. I care about the craft on both ends: interfaces that feel right, and infrastructure that ships reliably.
