About

Product-Focused Full-Stack Developer

I enjoy working at the intersection of product design and full-stack development, and I care just as much about why we build things as how. I’ve collaborated closely with designers and spoken directly with customers to shape features and ensure thoughtful implementation.

I'm experienced with modern tools like React, GraphQL, and Tailwind, and I like moving fast while keeping a high bar for quality and usability.

Outside of work, you’ll find me playing in local volleyball leagues or optimizing conveyor belts in Satisfactory — shoutout to my fellow pioneers.

Tourny

What I'm Currently Working OnCo-Founder

Tourny helps local sports organizations run better tournaments with less hassle.

As one of two team members, I am responsible for everything from product design and full-stack development to customer demos and support. I worked directly with organizers to shape features like automated pool, bracket and schedule generation and making it simple to share real-time updates with participants.

Since launching, we’ve powered over 150 tournaments for 30+ organizations, helping them save time and improve the participant experience.
