Frontend Engineer
Who
A mix of contradictions
and clean code.
Frontend engineer with a thing for detail, a low tolerance for bad UX, and a high tolerance for ambiguity. I've been doing this long enough to know the rules — which ones to follow, and which ones to break on purpose.
I work at the intersection of design and engineering. I care about how things feel, not just how they function. The invisible half-pixel. The transition that's 20ms too slow. The copy that's technically correct but feels wrong.
Still growing. Still figuring it out. That's probably not changing.

Things I think about.
Politics, philosophy, tech, and the occasional rant. Honest opinions, written slowly.
