Work

Senior Software Engineer

Senior frontend engineer, JavaScript/Typescript & CSS is my bread & butter, but I've also dabbled in XSLT, C#, Java, PHP and Python. I work hard to find the simple solutions, improve developer experience, and encourage just enough architecture.

JAM-stack, Next.js, GraphQL.
