Where I'm headed
Toward design engineering, where craft and code meet at the surface.
I started as a product engineer who kept caring too much about how things looked and moved. Now I'm making that the focus. I build agentic flows, design systems, and interaction-heavy surfaces, and I'm sharpening my design intuition through close study of the people and work I admire, with AI accelerating how fast I can ship polished work.
