About
I build things for the web. I believe in fast, accessible, and beautiful software.
Currently crafting experiences at the intersection of design and engineering. I care deeply about performance, user experience, and code that's a joy to maintain.
Projects
Kid Bank
Chores, allowance, and savings goals for my kids — an installable PWA where completed chores turn into balances and balances turn into goals. Astro + React on the front, Go + Postgres on the back.
Multi-Modal Portfolio
This very site. One portfolio, three ways to experience it — 3D immersive, lightweight (<14KB), and SSH terminal. Built with Astro, Three.js, and Go.
Browser Demos
A Mandelbrot/Julia explorer rendered by Go compiled to WebAssembly, a spinning three.js galaxy, and a physics sandbox. Small experiments, real rabbit holes.
What I Do
Frontend (React, TypeScript, Next.js) · Backend (Node.js, Go, Rust) · Infrastructure (Docker, K8s, AWS) · Creative Coding (Three.js, WebGL)
