About: this, that, etc...

I want the internet to feel like it did 10 years ago. I am nostalgic for an era of the internet that I was too young to be apart of. Focused on actually connecting and sharing with each other. Fostering relationships and providing access to the tools and knowledge to grow. I want the internet to make our lives better; not to treat our attention as a resource.

That being said.... here are my socials!

My real passion is in honing a consistent and thoughtful user experience. From the design, implementation, performance aspects; whatever it takes to make the experience feel frictionless.

I work well with tradeoffs, and I am not afraid to make tough decisions. I've worked with startups for most of my career, acting not only as a developer, but taking on product ownership and project management responsibilities.

I've worked on delivering all aspects of a product. From balancing design and feasibility, to architecting new features, and managing team resources.

This Site

I started working on this site because my last iteration was years ago and nothing really more than a "linktree" or virtual business card. Not really something that reflects my sentiments above.

I've used this as an opportunity to finally dive into new tools, frameworks, utilities, and concepts that I previously was not able to (ie. in a commercial environment). Some of those being (but not exhaustive):

• Shaders: GLSL, the book of shaders, Svader
• Svelte 5, SvelteKit
• OKLCH color space
• Shadcn UI (Svelte specific version)
• ...

LilyGem

LilyGem is a personal finance companion that goes beyond simple currency conversion. I built this as a real-world application to solve the problem of tracking international transfers and understanding exchange rate patterns over time.

Torc has been a great community and resource for my career. I've met some great people there, Check it out!
