Lead Frontend Engineer @ Haneke Design, turning caffeine into code and dreams into deployments.
It's still the best framework out there. I will die on this hill.
Always surfing the wave of frontend innovation, implementing new tech possibly before it's ready, and learning valuable lessons along the way. (No regrets about those production deployments though, maintainers claimed it was "ready for production")
Still paying Adobe Creative Cloud monthly because "you never know when you'll need to make a quick vector logo." (It's been 8 months since I last opened Illustrator, but who's counting?)
Armed with an oddly specific expertise in large format printer maintenance and operation that I'll probably never use again. (But hey, those entrepreneurial skills? Priceless.)
The kind of person who watches coding tutorials for entertainment and gets genuinely excited about new TypeScript features. (I know, I know, I "need better hobbies".)
Been following OpenAI since they were teaching bots to destroy Dota 2 pros, back before language models were cool. Watched OpenAI Five crush professional players and tried explaining to friends why a bot mastering last-hits and ward placement was groundbreaking.
Proud poodle parent and unashamedly devoted husband. These two keep me grounded when I'm too deep in a JavaScript rabbit hole. They're the reason I remember to look up from VS Code Zed occasionally.
