// Philosophy

I believe in writing less code and reading more. Most hard problems don't need clever tricks—they need clear thinking, simple designs, and systems that are easy to change. Good engineering is about clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful trade-offs, not chasing the latest framework.

In an AI-first world, I lean into co-creating with tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and friends, but I still care deeply about how systems behave in production, how they fail, and how they feel to the next engineer reading the code. We're not just coders; we're engineers, architects, and craftspeople.
