I'm a software engineer with a deep appreciation for the craft of making things. I care about code that's readable, interfaces that feel good, and systems that are fast by default.
My aesthetic sense was formed by early 2000s web design — not the bad parts (Comic Sans, auto-playing MIDI) but the good parts: the sense that websites were places, made by people, for people. I try to bring that spirit to what I build now.
When I'm not at a keyboard I'm probably reading about old computers, listening to black metal, playing something from 2003, or trying to keep my plant alive.
