About me

Frontend is my focus. Building the whole product is what keeps me curious.

I’ve been building web products since 2017. At Torq, I work on security automation dashboards and the engineering practices behind them. Outside work, I build GymTempo solo, from its Vue app and backend integrations to mobile packaging and its website. I use AI for tests, code review, documentation, and planning, with the same attention to correctness as any other code.
