I build software that doesn't suck. I'm a strong believer in spending a bit more time to create quality software that's genuinely user-friendly and intuitive. In my next role, I'll help build software that makes life better for our users.

I'm a full-stack software engineer and a generalist. I launched my side-project Citadel here on Hacker News at the beginning of last year to great fanfare, and it now has 1k+ stars on GitHub. Previously, I launched a React Native mobile app that offered pet parents 0% bridge financing loans for vet care in just four months, offering folks the ability to afford necessary vet care for the first time.

I've worked on static, server-rendered, and SPA websites, built React Native mobile apps, deployed APIs using Elixir, Python, and Typescript (Node.js + Deno), and recently I've been tinkering with desktop applications using Tauri + Rust.
