Design

Before I shipped silicon I shipped interfaces. I design the way I engineer — with a thesis. Every screen is an argument about how a person should feel, and every brand is a promise you can measure.

Good design isn't decoration. It's the shortest distance between a person and what they came for.

Designed and built a responsive web app with interaction-design principles front of mind — wired up to S3, Sentry, Cloudflare, Intercom, and Analytics. Where the design discipline meets the build discipline, which is exactly where I like to work.
