Building the web with clarity, purpose, and carefully considered craft.
I build interactive web apps using Typescript, React, Next.js, Bun and PostgreSQL. With a focus on UI design. Enthusiastic about Three.js, driven by a keen eye for design.
Every project starts with a conversation, not a ticket.
