Thoughtful and delicate interactions are the cornerstones of how people see a product's value. These often subtle interfaces can quietly but undoubtedly sway a user's impression of a product. Understanding this psychology is critical to building a product that people want to come back to time and time again.
A well made application is like an airport. No matter where the user is, they always have just the right level of context to orient themselves and know where to go next. Providing a user with this sense of control enables them to expertly navigate with little to no effort, no matter how large or complex.
What I build
I build enterprise-scale Web and React Native applications using the latest adopted standards. I'm grateful to have worked with some of the most talented designers and engineers in the market, building applications which have served millions of users.
As a 7+ year AWS veteran, I have intimate experience with building high-availability and scalable applications in a way that's performant and cost-effective for any use case.
Building climate solutions
I am deeply passionate about using my skills to build solutions for the most important crisis of our time. I am actively pursuing opportunities and projects that materially improve our planet. It's promising to see solutions beginning to scale, but we must continue to rage against humanity's slow progress on climate action. CO2 removal, emissions reduction, and energy grid modernization are all areas of interest.
