About
I'm a software engineer who likes computers a perfectly normal amount.
I've spent an unreasonable amount of time tinkering with everything from databases and networking to developer tools, interfaces, and AI agents. I like figuring out how things work, occasionally breaking them, and making things that other people actually enjoy using.
I've also contributed to Grafana, Vercel AI SDK, Prisma, and Elysia. I still think it's pretty cool that people use software I've helped improve.
When I'm not staring at a terminal, I'm probably listening to music with too much reverb, taking blurry concert photos on purpose, riding my bike, or finding yet another expensive hobby.
I really do love my computer, though.
