Values

A few things I believe about building software.

01

Find the real constraint

Before adding code, reduce ambiguity around the customer, system, and decision that actually matters.

02

Design for iteration

Good architecture makes the next release safer, faster, and less dependent on institutional memory.

03

Use AI as leverage

Agents accelerate execution; strong intent, constraints, and review keep the output coherent.

Work together

Building something technically hard?

I work best with thoughtful founders and small teams that care about product quality, fast iteration, and durable systems.
