Software engineer focused on robust system design, careful implementation, and reliable production infrastructure.

About

I'm an engineer who likes the whole arc of a system: the schema design that determines everything downstream, the API that makes the product possible, and the interface people actually touch. I've worked across that stack long enough to know which decisions are cheap to change later and which ones aren't.

My bias is toward boring technology chosen on purpose, small surface areas, and code reviews that teach something. I measure my work by how easily the next person can move around in it.

Stack

Languages
TypeScript, Python, Go, SQL
Backend
Node.js, Postgres, Redis
Frontend
React, Next.js, Tailwind
Infra
AWS, Docker, Linux

Projects

pathctl

Safe PATH & environment-variable manager for Windows. Edits the registry directly (never setx), snapshots every change so it's always undoable, preserves REG_EXPAND_SZ, and refuses writes that would truncate. Single static binary.

tabs-manager

Chrome extension that adds the tab shortcuts most people eventually want: pin/unpin, group unpinned tabs, duplicate, etc.

vercel-tuicoming soon

Terminal UI for managing Vercel projects and deployments.

Now

  • Working on vercel-tui and a couple of side projects
  • Deep in system design, AI/LLM, and Infra
  • Hunting for open-source projects worth committing to
