I build sleek, end-to-end systems driven by utility and personal taste.

My process is a high-velocity loop: Build → ship → learn. Repeat.

Low-polish, high-learning experiments across web + AI.

I treat LLMs as force multipliers, accelerators for planning, architecting, and iterating complex systems at absurd velocity.

Currently deep-diving into:

• Distributed systems & software design patterns
• Pushing free-tier coding agents & inference stacks to their absolute limits

More cooking... 🍳

I treat AI not as a replacement, but as a jet-fuel.

I use it to collapse weeks of thinking into hours, then ruthlessly test & ship the output.

18+ months at Toastmasters International

• Vice President of Education
• Secretary

Honed clear technical communication, running meetings, and systems-level problem solving.

(what I ship with most often)

Core modes:

• Systems thinking
• Ruthless pragmatism
• Privacy-first defaults
• Velocity over perfection
• Zero-cost and minimalist
• UX-focused development
