About
I'm currently working at Bumper, a fintech building payments and business intelligence tools for the automotive industry.
I mostly work with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, across product interfaces, design systems, performance, and data-led product work.
I care about craft and polish, without compromising on shipping fast.
