About

I'm a Software Engineer focused on building reliable, developer-friendly software. My work sits at the intersection of frontend engineering, developer experience, and open source.

I primarily work with TypeScript, building frontend systems, libraries, APIs, and tooling with a focus on clear abstractions, strong type safety, maintainability, and a thoughtful developer experience.

Currently, I'm working on Aura Stack, an open-source ecosystem of tools and libraries for building modern web aplications on TypeScript.
