About

I build things for the web -- front-end, back-end, and the messy stuff in between. I've learned that good software isn't just about clean code. It's about understanding the problem first, then figuring out the right way to solve it. Sometimes that's a clever architecture. Sometimes it's just removing the thing that shouldn't have been there. I've been at this for a while now, and the more I build, the more I realise how much there still is to figure out. Still learning. Always.
