the stack i ship with

Grouped by depth rather than breadth. Everything here is running in production in one of the products. Tech I've only read about or tried in a weekend project is left off, because a stack list that includes everything tells you nothing.

Design

People call me a full-stack engineer. I read myself as a design engineer: comfortable across the stack, but at my most useful where design, frontend and product decisions land on the same desk.

    Design

    • Design tokens + radius hierarchy
    • Component-driven architecture
    • UX research
    • Accessibility-first (aria-label, screen reader testing)

The clearest evidence of the design half is the component library , ten interaction components with their source and the reasoning behind each timing decision.
