About Me

Personal introduction, values, and how you build.

About

I build personal software and web experiences that stay lightweight, useful, and easy to maintain. I care about clean UX, strong structure, and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

This site is where I publish what I learn, document experiments, and organize projects under one consistent design system.

Principles

  • Static-first when possible
  • Clear IA before visual over-design
  • Separate apps by deployment boundary
  • Write down decisions for future reuse
