For the love of the game.

At the core of every good fighting game is a robust system, designed with rules to govern player interactions across a near-infinite space of player decisions tuned to produce fierce, dynamic competition. As both a gamer and engineer, my favorite systems serve complex human needs while remaining elegant, understandable, and maintainable.

My foundation is in backend, so I think from the data model and contracts outwards, and I build full-stack applications now, following my systems end-to-end to meet the needs of real users in my community. I've shipped production code in 5 languages across 6 teams each with different stacks, and I comfortably adapt to apply the right solution for each team and product.

With the community I build for.

I've made friends with Claude and enjoy exploring ways to train and shape how AI works for me to improve my workflow while maintaining disciplined standards. When I'm not working, you can find me playing fighting games or creating content to teach and grow my community. I love hearing about new ideas, so if you're building and want to work together, get in touch.
