What I'm About
I build things — software, systems, habits.
I believe the best code is the code you don't write. That clarity beats cleverness. That shipping beats perfecting.
I care about craft the way a carpenter cares about grain — not because anyone notices, but because I notice.
Outside of engineering, I invest in two things: health and wealth. The body is the original system. Money is a tool, not a scoreboard.
Ask Me Anything
What do you build?
Backend systems, infrastructure, developer tools. Things that need to work at 3 AM without anyone watching.
What's your stack?
Whatever solves the problem. Usually Python, Go, or TypeScript. AWS underneath. Postgres when I need to remember things.
What are you optimizing for?
Leverage. I want every hour of work to compound — in code, in knowledge, in health, in wealth.
What gets you up in the morning?
The feeling that today's system is slightly better than yesterday's. And coffee. Definitely coffee.
What do you believe that most people don't?
That simplicity is harder than complexity. That saying no is a superpower. That most meetings should be a diff.
What would you build if money didn't matter?
Exactly what I build now — just more of it, and with better lunch breaks.
Things I Believe
- Ship early. Fix fast. Apologize never for learning in public.
- Read the source code before the documentation.
- Sleep is not a luxury — it's infrastructure.
- Compound interest works in the gym too.
- The best tool is the one you actually use.
- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it yet.
