About me, briefly.

I'm a design engineer. I write frontends, mostly in Web3, and I've spent six years quietly arguing that the absence of features is a feature.

I grew up between ten cities, neither of which I am from in the way people seem to mean. I picked up code the way people pick up a new obsession — YouTube, doomscrolling, with a bit more focus. I've been working professionally as a frontend engineer for six years, mostly in Web3, mostly in roles where I get to design and build the thing all by myself.

Outside of work I think a lot about philosophy, behaviors and run experiments with psychedelics. I am genuinely interested in the people I meet and have built up a small private taxonomy of social moments. I'll write about all my observations here.

I am on most platforms. And I usually respond quickly. If you have a project that needs care more than speed, I would like to hear about it :D
