I'm a pragmatic builder who cares about shipping things that matter. My sweet spot is sitting right between product strategy and technical execution—taking messy, complicated problems and wrestling them into clean, boring systems that just work.

now

We're in the middle of the biggest shift in software development in decades. I'm deep in understanding what AI-native development actually looks like in practice - not the hype, the real application. What changes, what stays the same, and where the leverage actually is.

principles

Customer value first.If it doesn't solve a real problem, it doesn't get built.
Ship early.Something live beats something perfect. Learn from reality, not assumptions.
Foundations over frameworks.Strong principles outlast any trend. Learn the why, not just the what.
Adapt fast.The landscape shifts constantly. Stay curious, adopt quickly, go deep where it matters.
Have fun and be useful.The best work happens when both are true.
