Engineer who ships
I build things that work. Then I'll tell you how.
Available for contract work — React/Node/TypeScript. Start within a week.My open-source work has been viewed 12,000+ times on Reddit and used by developers globally.
I was the only engineer at a startup that failed. We had 122 real users. I kept them live through two business pivots. Then the founder shut it down.
Now I build open-source tools (Fabric — turns GitHub commits into plain-English reports, 12K+ Reddit views) and look for my next team. I over-engineer sometimes. I'm learning to stop. But I never ship broken things and I never blame users. Want to build something?
