About Me

Translating high-level ideas into real software

My career spans digital design, front-end engineering, and software product management. Most of my day is spent acting as a translator between clients and developers: sitting down with people to figure out what they actually need, sketching out clear UI architectures in Figma, and then writing the front-end code to make sure the final product matches the original intent.

I don’t believe in over-complicated processes or endless meetings. I run product management almost entirely async using GitHub, Jira, and Notion so developers can stay focused on writing code. Whenever there's a tough front-end problem—like a complex drag-and-drop workflow or an intricate Chrome Extension DOM mutation—I jump in and write the code myself.
