01 // About / Frontend Software Engineer / Los Angeles
I build the whole loop.
From schema to interface—and from an early assumption to a working product.
Every technical decision has a person attached to it.

A little context
I build products end to end, schema to interface. For the last couple years I’ve been doing it on my own products, which means every technical decision I made had a customer attached to it.
I like the 0 → 1 part most. Taking something that starts as a sketch or a late-night idea and turning it into a thing people actually use. I work best in small teams where things move fast and nobody’s waiting on permission to ship.
Right now I’m building Garaje, a two-sided marketplace for the automotive community, out of Los Angeles. I also take on client work and a few side products. In all of it I’m the one writing the code, not reviewing someone else’s.
How I think about building
- 01What users need.
- 02What the system can express.
- 03What the business can sustain.
// Most of my best decisions have been deletions.
