I build the connective tissue between platforms: APIs that talk to each other, CMS backends that editors actually enjoy using, and TypeScript architectures that stay maintainable as they grow. When I'm not in an editor, I'm probably deep in a game world or tinkering with AI agents. My work lives where a clear data model meets a real business need, and I bring the same obsessive attention to both.
