How I work

I’m a software and design engineer who treats the interface as an engineering artefact. My work sits between design systems, front-end architecture, and product—the place where structure, type, and interaction have to agree.

Most of what I ship is dense, operational software: dashboards, internal tools, documentation, and developer surfaces. I prefer hairline borders over shadows, controlled color over decoration, and typography that does the hierarchy work.

Before going independent I led design-engineering at two product companies, built the component infrastructure for a 40-person org, and wrote the contribution standards that kept it legible as it grew.

Let’s build something considered.

I take on a small number of engagements at a time—usually design-system work, front-end architecture, or a full design-engineering pass on a product surface. Tell me what you’re building.
