Featured projects

Things I’ve shipped

A mix of product UI, developer tooling, and interface experiments, each one solving a real, specific problem.

Brand
Creator

Cygio

A platform enabling brand-creator collaborations, trend tracking, and social media monetization for the creator economy.

Startup LeadershipProduct StrategyCreator Economy
Problem
Brands and creators had no single place to find each other, track what's trending, and turn a collaboration into actual revenue.
Approach
Co-founded the company and lead product, strategy, and the cross-functional team building the platform, from roadmap to partnerships with early brands and creators.
Outcome
A live, growing platform in the creator economy space, still being built out with new partnerships.

DiffLens

A visual JSON and API diff tool for comparing structured responses across environments.

TypeScriptReactNode.js
Problem
Comparing JSON responses across environments meant eyeballing raw payloads side by side.
Approach
Built a visual diff view that highlights additions, removals, and value changes at a glance, with syntax-aware formatting.
Outcome
Cut the time to spot a regression in an API response from manual scanning to a glance.

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.

User-facing UI that has to hold up under real use: loading states, empty states, error states, not just the happy path.

--accent
--radius
--space-4
--text-1
--border
--shadow

Design tokens, component libraries, and the conventions that keep a growing codebase legible for the next person.

$ pnpm run gen:component Button
// scaffolds component + stories + test

Internal tooling and CLIs that make other engineers faster. Unglamorous work with outsized leverage.

app.dev/dashboard

Full products end to end: routing, data fetching, auth, and the deploy pipeline underneath all of it.

Small, deliberate interactions: the details that make software feel considered instead of assembled.

How I think

The engineering approach

Not a list of technologies: the actual questions I’m asking at each layer of a product.

Design systems, responsive layouts, accessibility, and interaction design: the layer users actually feel.

Design systemsAccessibilityMotionResponsive

Component architecture, state management, API integration, and frontend structure that scales past one person.

ComponentsStateAPIsStructure

Lazy loading, caching, rendering strategy, and bundle size, treated as a feature, not an afterthought.

Turning a vague idea into a simple, usable interface, and knowing what to leave out.
