I build and design software that works — clean UI, robust systems, and thoughtful code.
Currently building buddy.me, contributing to open source at GitLab, and deepening my craft in product design.
- 🧠 Learning design from first principles (form, function, affordance, system image)
- 🛠 Working on OSS contributions at GitLab (Vue + ESLint refactors)
- 🚧 Architecting & sketching buddy.me - a gamified app for connecting like minded folks
- 🌍 Exploring infrastructure patterns & what design is beyond code
- Frontend (React, TypeScript, Next.js)
- Infrastructure design (IaC, CI/CD, AWS)
- Systems with great UX (where design meets dev)
- Developer tools or indie projects
- Product thinking, component design, design systems
- TypeScript + React patterns
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK | SDK)
- Git workflows, DX, and documentation

- I binge anime from the 90s and write poetry sometimes
- I think in systems all day
- MR: vue/no-unused-properties cleanup
- Issue: vue/no-unused-properties ESLint rule
- Scope: Removed unused props/methods from legacy Vue components per ESLint rule.
- Impact: Improved maintainability and code health in a massive enterprise monorepo.
