About

I'm a software engineer who ships fast without cutting corners. I genuinely love building products and sweating the details until they feel right. Over the past few years, I've been all in on AI and how it's changing the way we think, design, and build software. I got pretty good at it.

I bring strong product taste to everything I build. I obsess over dev experience just as much as UX. I do my best work with full ownership and thrive in remote, async environments. Give me a goal and I'll ship something I'm proud of.

Beyond code, I'm deep into Bitcoin and a strong advocate for privacy, freedom of speech, self-sovereignty, and open-source software. I'm also into economics, cryptography, psychology, and literature.

Here's my early 2026 resume

Tech stack

These days I mostly build with React, full-stack TypeScript, and Tailwind, though my favorite stack is still Vue and Nuxt. On the backend, I usually reach for Bun.

Most of that happens in Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and Grok, alongside Ghostty and Wispr Flow.

Bookshelf

I picked up reading in 2020 and it stuck. Over 300 books later, here are some of my top picks. Find me on Goodreads for more.

Fiction

Mostly classics, a few modern works.

Nonfiction

Mix of philosophy, economics, memoirs, tech, business, history, and anything else I find interesting at the moment.

Screen favorites

I don't watch much, so I'm very picky when I do. These stuck with me.
