[05] // About

A portfolio says more than a PDF.

With this site I hope to give you a sense of how I show up — as an engineer, a teammate, and a builder. Fifteen years in, I still care about the same two things I did on day one: shipping software people actually keep, and doing the unglamorous native work that makes an app feel right.

[06] // Contact

Let's build something that ships.

I like small teams, hard problems, and products people keep. If that sounds like yours, let's talk.
