A bit about me
Software engineer & designer in Brooklyn, NY. I build front-ends, and lately almost all of them have been maps.
I started designing and building for the web in high school. Photoshop turned into HTML and I never went back. These days I write mostly TypeScript and mostly Vue, and I spend a suspicious amount of my free time on maps.
I like the front end because the craft is visible. A hundred small decisions about type, motion, and hierarchy add up to something that either feels right or doesn't. So far I've shipped a labor management platform, a public API that outlived its own joke, and a navigation app built entirely on open data.
Off the clock you'll find me on a bike, at a piano, editing OpenStreetMap, or arguing that the city should have built the train.

Client-side development
This is what I do best. Front-end web development has always been what I have considered my best skill. Vue is my home ground, though I have shipped production work in Svelte and contributed to React codebases, and the fundamentals underneath them all matter more to me than the framework on top.
