About
Developer with a design sensibility.
I'm a web developer based in Portland, Oregon, with a background that sits somewhere between engineering and design. I care about the details most people don't notice — the spacing, the load time, the keyboard path, the way a button responds to a click.
Over the last seven years, I've worked with startups, agencies, and established brands to build products that are fast, accessible, and a pleasure to use. My sweet spot is the frontend: React, TypeScript, modern CSS, and the TanStack ecosystem.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me restoring vintage cameras, hiking in the Columbia Gorge, or trying to perfect my pour-over technique.

Process
How I work
Start with clarity
I ask a lot of questions up front so the build phase is smooth and focused.
Ship small, iterate fast
Break work into milestones, validate early, and adjust before assumptions harden.
Design systems first
A strong component foundation saves time and keeps the experience consistent.
Performance is UX
Fast loads, small bundles, and accessible markup are non-negotiable parts of the craft.
