About

A builder mindset, shaped by shipping and inclusion.

My path into front-end engineering has always been practical: learn enough to solve the problem in front of me, refine the system behind it, and leave the codebase easier to work in than I found it.

That has turned into a steady preference for semantic HTML, CSS with a clear structure, and JavaScript that improves the experience without becoming the experience. Accessible HTML should be the default, not a special case.

My current interest is what happens after that baseline is in place: how AI can help people with disabilities take part in work, communication, and everyday life in ways that were previously harder or sometimes out of reach.

Accessibility First

Semantic HTML, keyboard paths, focus visibility, readable structure, and products that assume inclusion from the beginning.

Performance as Product Quality

Lean bundles, predictable rendering, modern image strategy, and progressive enhancement over unnecessary client weight.

AI in Service of Access

Use AI where it meaningfully expands independence and participation for people with disabilities, not where it adds novelty without value.

Broad enough to move across stacks, opinionated enough to keep the implementation grounded.
