I’m a React Native and Next.js developer who enjoys partnering with teams to turn sketches into shipped products. My focus is on calm, pragmatic delivery: clear milestones, tidy code, and UIs that feel good to use.

I have a background in design-adjacent roles, so I value details like microcopy, spacing, and loading states. I’m comfortable collaborating with designers, PMs, and stakeholders to keep decisions moving.
