PlateCase File I · About

The lay of the land

The lay of the night

I build software the way naturalists keep journals — deliberately, with patient attention to the small things that make the whole worth keeping.

I build software the way the night keeps watch — deliberately, relentlessly, with attention to the small things everyone else misses.

For the past five years I’ve worked across the full stack: web applications in React and Next.js, mobile apps in React Native for iOS and Android, and the Node.js, Python and AWS services that keep them fast and standing.

I care about the quiet qualities of software — performance you can feel, interfaces that don’t shout, code a teammate can read a year later. The best work, like the best field notes, doesn’t need explaining.
