What Actually Changes About Engineering Decisions When You're a Technical Co-Founder
As an employee, someone else absorbs the cost of a wrong technical call. As a co-founder, you do. That one shift changes almost every decision, and it took me a while to notice it was happening.
You Don't Need Redux: A Practical Decision Tree for React State
Most state management questions get answered with a library opinion before anyone asks where the state actually lives, how often it changes, and who reads it. Start there instead.
A Field Guide to Debugging Memory Leaks in React Apps
The page that gets slower the longer someone leaves it open is almost always the same four causes. Here's how to actually confirm it's a leak, find which one it is, and prove the fix worked.
What I build
Five areas, one way of working
Different surfaces, same standard: thoughtful defaults, clear states, and interfaces people don't have to think about.

Internal tooling and CLIs that make other engineers faster. Unglamorous work with outsized leverage.
Full products end to end: routing, data fetching, auth, and the deploy pipeline underneath all of it.

How I think
The engineering approach
Not a list of technologies: the real writing behind how I approach each layer of a product.
Design systems, accessibility, and interaction design: the layer users actually feel.
Component architecture, state management, and frontend structure that scales past one person.
Rendering strategy, bundle size, and memory, treated as a feature, not an afterthought.
Turning a vague idea into a shipped product, and knowing what to leave out.
