Your website is how people decide who you are. I make sure it's unforgettable.

Working alone. Building in public.

I solve real problems
by crafting premium digital experiences.

I build alongside frontier AI models with the precision of a craftsman and the clarity that comes from real credentials. The result is clean, inspectable work that actually ships.

Most of what I make is open source, built to help people and push the craft forward. The list below is what's public so far.

AI made building easy. Building something people remember is still an art.
Selected Work Identify · build · ship · iterate

Each project is a self-contained answer to a problem I found worth solving. Different niches. Different stacks. The throughline is the method: identify, build, ship, iterate.

Still learning.

No degree, just deliberate range. Each credential is a tool I went looking for, not a box I checked. Picked across disciplines because the interesting problems live where they overlap.
