//about
A full-stack dev with a front-end heart.
I'm a full-stack web developer with a front-end heart. I lead front-end architecture and ship tooling end-to-end at MyOutDesk, building Vue.js apps backed by PHP services on AWS, plus native desktop tools in Rust and Tauri. I grew from intern to senior engineer there, picking up the full stack along the way.
