} as const;I am a full-stack software engineer focused on designing and delivering dependable products across frontend applications, backend services, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling.
My work centers on TypeScript, React, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and AWS. I enjoy simplifying complicated systems, defining clear architectural boundaries, improving developer experience, and automating work that should not require repeated human effort.

Make complex systems understandable.
Design for the next engineer, not only the first release.
Automate repetitive work.
Treat testing and observability as product capabilities.
Prefer clear boundaries over clever abstractions.
Balance technical quality with practical delivery.
Outside of professional software development, I experiment with:
- Local-first AI and model orchestration
- Self-hosted infrastructure and homelab systems
- Cloud automation and infrastructure as code
- Interactive genealogy and relationship visualization
- Gaming infrastructure and server automation
