Selected work

Platforms, publishing systems, and the frontends that hold them up.

A sample of the work I can talk about publicly. Each project links to a longer write-up covering the problem, the approach, and what changed after launch.

How I work.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Solve real problems

    Audit what exists, talk to the people who use and maintain it, and agree on what “better” means in numbers.

  2. 02

    Design

    Intentional & minimal

    Shape the smallest system that covers the cases: components, content model, and states — including the empty and broken ones.

  3. 03

    Develop

    Performant & scalable

    Build with a budget. Accessible semantics, typed boundaries, tests where they earn their keep, CI that blocks regressions.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Monitor & iterate

    Ship behind measurement. Field data over lab scores, then keep tuning once real traffic tells the truth.
