Who is this person?
I'm a developer who believes the best software comes from ignoring best practices just enough to find something new. I've been writing code for over a decade, building everything from distributed systems to terrible side projects that somehow got popular.
My work sits at the intersection of AI, developer tools, and systems programming. I care deeply about open source, developer experience, and building tools that make other builders more effective.
When I'm not shipping code, I'm making YouTube videos about the process, writing about the things I learn, and occasionally touching grass.
