My Foundation

I built my foundation the hard way, before AI could write code for me.
I've spent countless hours buried in documentation, hunting down that one bug that made no sense until suddenly it did. I've sat in rooms debating why a feature wasn't solving the actual problem, then walked over to product and design to make sure we fixed it together.
Now, as AI agents generate more and more code, I've come to realize what truly sets me apart: building experiences that feel right, understanding the real challenges users face, and shipping products that actually matter.

And underneath all of it? Patience and a genuine love for the craft of engineering.
