About me

Introduction

15+ years building software that starts with how people actually use it.

My background in Human-Computer Interaction research shapes everything I do. I care deeply about accessibility and design-system consistency; the best interfaces are the ones people don’t notice.

On most teams I join, I become the person who owns the frontend architecture and accessibility decisions, because that’s where my experience runs deepest. I do my best work alongside people who talk to their users, iterate often, and treat quality as a habit, not a phase.

Selected experience.

Long-term engagements where I owned the frontend that mattered.

How I work.

The principles I come back to when making decisions, big or small.

  • Start with the people who'll use it
  • Accessibility is a requirement, not a nice-to-have
  • Research before assumptions
  • Listen first, then solve
  • Clean, testable, maintainable code
  • Understand the 'why' before writing the 'how'

Beyond code.

Where the rest of my hours go.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me outside — sports, the beach, or somewhere new with a camera in hand. Also: tinkering with electronics and hardware, mentoring other developers (let's talk!), and working slowly through a stack of books over Panamanian coffee.
