Full-stack developer crafting tools that ship.

I build products at the intersection of design, engineering, and motion — from generative theme systems to interactive 3D experiences. This is my portfolio of work.

About

I'm a full-stack developer passionate about building tools that make other developers more productive. With over 8 years of experience across frontend, backend, and infrastructure, I love diving deep into the technologies that power modern web applications.

I believe the best projects come from scratching your own itch — every project in this portfolio started as something I personally wanted to use. When I'm not coding, you'll find me writing about developer tooling, contributing to open-source projects, or exploring the latest advancements in web rendering and animation.

This portfolio itself is a testament to my love of generative design: every time you hit "Magic Shuffle," a new theme is procedurally generated — colors, fonts, motion profiles, and patterns — all computed from a single random hex seed.
