BEYOND THE CODE
The stuff that doesn't fit
on a résumé.
I believe the best work happens when you bring your whole self to the table. Here's a glimpse into what drives me outside of spreadsheets and code editors.
How I approach work & life
Start with why.
Understand the problem before building the solution. The best tools solve real pain points, not imaginary ones.
AI augments, not replaces.
Keep humans in the loop. Technology should amplify human judgment, not eliminate accountability.
Perfect doesn't exist.
Don't let the pursuit of perfection paralyze progress. Good enough today beats perfect never.
Leave breadcrumbs.
Document your progress and setbacks. Future you is counting on present you to leave a trail.
Build with empathy.
Design for how people actually work, not how you think they should. Tools fail when they fight the workflow.
Build, learn, iterate. Keep moving.
Every version teaches you something new. Momentum matters more than perfection.
Other things I'm into
The Outdoors
Trails, campfires, disconnecting. There's clarity in getting away from screens.
Ideas & Rabbit Holes
Tech trends, philosophy, the occasional deep dive into how things work. Always reading something.
Audio & Sound
Sound design, remixes, mashups, original production—years behind DAWs blending creativity with technical experimentation. Live shows when I can.
Knives & Fire
Traditional Texas BBQ might be the most beautiful way to wreck your diet.
