About
A bit about me.
I've spent the last seven years building software for startups, agencies, and my own curiosity. I care a lot about the small details that make products feel finished — the kind of things users only notice when they're missing.
Outside of work, I'm slowly learning Rust, going down too many rabbit holes on tools and workflows, and trying to keep a small notebook of ideas that might one day become real.
