Core strengths

Product UX, dashboards, internal tools, and APIs.

Best for

Startups and fast-moving product teams

I work best when a team needs product judgment, frontend polish, and full-stack execution in the same person.

AI-native products and scalable web platforms

Open work, made to be used.

Public tools and packages that extend beyond a single product team.
