About
Full stack developer who came up through the terminal. I build tools that make developers' lives easier — CLIs, shell environments, mobile apps, and web platforms.
I care about the craft: clean APIs, fast feedback loops, and code that actually ships. When I'm not building, I'm automating something that probably didn't need automating.
