Capabilities

A balanced product engineering practice.

Product engineering

From problem to production. I build interfaces people trust, APIs that scale, and the architecture decisions that hold it all together.

Frontend systems

React and Next.js applications built for real users: accessible, fast on slow connections, and maintainable months after launch.

Backend & data

Python, Django, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. APIs, authentication, data pipelines, and the integrations that connect systems.

Applied AI

AI where it earns its place. Coding assistants, data agents, and developer tools built for real workflows, not demos.
