I love to make cool sh*t. 20 years in, first-principles thinker, AI-native builder.
Twenty years of building things people actually use. Game dev origins, shipped AAA console titles (and the tools and pipelines to power them) at Disney and Radical, then pivoted to full stack product development. Now I design scalable systems, lead frontend architecture, and integrate AI into production workflows. Whatever the stack, end to end.
I'm open to freelance opportunities and full-time job offers.
