About

Identity

I'm a software engineer working across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and product. My deepest work sits at the intersection of frontend craft, performance optimization, and systems design, with security, scalability, performance, and maintainability as the through-line.

At Apple on iOS Power, I worked on power triage through analytics pipelines, low-level benchmarking, and A/B testing. At Formal, as founding product engineer and the only frontend engineer in the company, I own product direction and taste and have built the full surface to 50+ enterprise companies.

Outside of work, I enjoy cafe hopping, chasing sunsets, reading, and traveling.

Values

Engineering Practice

  • Design modular systems with swappable layers so evolution is a feature, not a rewrite.
  • Treat incidents as manifestations of a broader class of problems; never ship band-aids.
  • Codify determinism: architecture docs, knowledge bases, opinionated linters, syntax + structural rules.

Design Philosophy

  • Beauty emerges when delight, performance, correctness, and simplicity converge.
  • Anchor every decision in fundamentals, then explore with intent and playfulness.
