About
I'm a software engineer who ships fast without cutting corners. IΒ genuinely love building products and sweating the details until they feel right. Right now, I'm all in on AI and how it's changing the way we think, build, and ship software. I'm known as the AI guy. Claude Code is always by my side.
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.
Tech stack
I build with Vue, Nuxt, and full-stack TypeScript, with Tailwind for styling and Vitest for testing. On the backend, I usually reach for Bun.
These days, most of that happens in Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode and Ghostty, using Wispr Flow.
