About
I'm a product engineer who ships fast without cutting corners. I sweat the details until they feel just right. I obsess over dev experience almost as much as user experience. I care as much about what doesn't get built as what does. I try to delete more than I add. I build the way I wish everything else worked.
I've been all in on AI and how it's changing the way we design and build software, from the early GitHub Copilot autocomplete days to managing a large fleet of mainly cloud agents. I got pretty good at it.
Beyond code, I'm deep into the Bitcoin rabbit hole and a strong advocate for privacy, freedom of speech, self-sovereignty, and open-source software. I'm also into (macro)economics, cryptography, and literature.
Here's my somewhat outdated resume
Stack
I'm pretty much tech agnostic at this point. Most of my work happens in Amp and Claude Code (as of Nov 2026, these change every few weeks), almost exclusively in the cloud, alongside Ghostty and Wispr Flow.
