Profile

I got into software by building things before I knew the right way to build them. Started with solo projects and collaborations with developers abroad, picked up real patterns from real codebases, and never stopped. Currently working as a full-stack engineer at Hilma alongside independent building. I care about systems that hold up, decisions that age well, and code that doesn't require archaeology to understand.

Principles

  1. P-01

    Proven methods over clever ones. Research compounds; novelty often doesn't.

  2. P-02

    Systems outlast features. Design for connections, not just deliverables.

  3. P-03

    Slow interfaces are broken interfaces. Fix the cause, not the perception.

  4. P-04

    The best spec is a problem you've had yourself.
