Engineer, tinkerer

I'm drawn to the space where design meets engineering. Not just making things work, but making them feel right. I care about the extra 5% — the detail that turns a good interface into one people actually enjoy using.

I think in UI before I touch code. I sketch ideas, question requirements, and try to understand the user's mental model before writing a single line. I likeproposing things, not just implementing them — some of my favorite work started as a conversation or a rough mockup, not a ticket.

I've worked across the full stack but frontend is where I feel most at home — specifically the intersection of data visualization, design systems, and product thinking. I believe clean architecture and good UX are the same problem from different angles.
