I build scalable web applications
Featured Work
FYP Creator Platform
A creator platform I designed and built solo — from database schema to deployment. The experience of wearing every hat on a real product.
TitanFX Dashboard Modernization
Solo frontend migration of a live trading platform. Thousands of daily users, zero tolerance for downtime, and a backend team that thinks in jQuery.
Developer Experience Tools
Three tools born from specific pain — a CS team that couldn't reproduce bugs, QAs blocked by stale cache, and translations that wouldn't update on lower environments.

A Reddit post about a 3-agent Claude team hit 427 upvotes and 226 stars in 3 days. The pattern is right. The gap it leaves is the interesting part.
Stay in the loop
I write about building AI-powered dev tools, Go CLIs, and the systems behind my personal intelligence OS. Weekly, no spam.
