Selected work.
Where I add the most leverage.
Product Delivery
Taking products from ambiguous requirements through architecture, implementation, QA, deployment, and iteration.
Frontend Architecture
Building scalable TypeScript applications, complex workflows, reusable component systems, responsive interfaces, and maintainable frontend foundations.
AI-Native
Designing reusable agent harnesses with profiles, policies, fail-closed contracts, guardrails, run-plan schemas, observability, validation, and human review gates.
Technical Enablement
Helping engineers, clients, and nontechnical teams understand systems, make better decisions, and become more independently capable.
Good agent work needs operating boundaries.
- Start with the real user problem.
- Understand the system before changing it.
- Turn ambiguity into a written plan.
- Give agents clear contracts and boundaries.
- Keep humans in the approval loop.
- Verify the output before trusting the speed.
- Feed failures back into the system.
