Software engineer — sample
I build developer tools and small systems that stay out of the way. Most of my time goes into interfaces that make complex work feel simple—CLIs, dashboards, and the glue between them. This paragraph is sample copy for layout review.
Outside of shipping, I write about craft and tradeoffs: naming, defaults, and the quiet choices that accumulate into a product. Somewhere — sample. Not a real bio.
Currently
- Shipping
Harborline — a local-first notes app with keyboard-first capture (fictional).
- Reading
A Philosophy of Software Design — sample shelf pick.
- Learning
Rust async patterns and a bit of type-level design — sample.
Writing
On naming defaultsSample note on labels, defaults, and the first word a user sees.
Quiet interfacesSample note on restraint, chrome, and leaving room around the work.
A placeholder noteSample post so the Writing list has a third entry. Not a real piece.
