I started as a web developer, but I kept asking myself, "is there a better way to design this?" That question pulled me into UX and product design. The dev years stuck with me though. I still think in systems first, how the pieces connect, what scales, what breaks when things get messy.

Outside of work, I play a lot of story driven games. Not for the graphics, but because they let me live inside someone else's choices for a while. It taught me most decisions aren't good or bad, just trade offs people make with what they have. That changed how I see people too. Less judging, more curious about why someone chose what they chose.

I try to carry that into how I work. I'd rather understand why someone is having a bad day than write them off for it. Same goes for a teammate, a friend, or someone stuck on a confusing screen.

I'm open to work. If you're hiring, reach out via LinkedIn or email. Or... just say hi?
