How I work
My signature pattern is end-to-end vertical feature delivery: implementing complete features across every layer — frontend, GraphQL/API, business logic, and data persistence — making the changes each layer needs to ship a solution end to end, rather than owning a single horizontal slice. It’s a pattern confirmed across four roles, and it’s the instinct behind most of the case studies on this site.
Over 7+ years I’ve moved from UX/UI and frontend work into full-stack engineering and technical leadership — leading distributed teams and mentoring developers while staying hands-on. Recently my work has centered on bringing AI into production through the Claude API and the Model Context Protocol, with the same standards for reliability, security, and maintainability as any other system.
