Who I Am
I'm a self-taught software engineer with about four years of building under my belt. I learned the hard way, before ChatGPT (and now I love LLMs). My approach hasn't changed much over the years: find the best people in a space, study why they do things the way they do, then go build something I'm proud to put my name on.
Intrinsic Labs is my solo studio. It's where all of that work lives — client projects, open source tools, and products I'm building because they should exist.
How I Work
I care about architecture. Not in the abstract - in the way that good structure makes everything downstream easier. Clean layers, typed contracts, offline-first persistence, projects that don't fall apart when you get busy with other stuff and can't touch them for a few months. I think in systems and I build things that reflect that.
I also care about building things people can actually run without me. Almost every project I ship includes some kind of self-service layer — a CMS, a dashboard, an admin tool — so my clients own their own experience long after the engagement ends.
Most of my work spans the full stack: UI through API through data model through infrastructure. I'm most at home in TypeScript/React and native mobile ecosystems, but I pick tools based on the problem, not habit.
What I'm Building
Right now I'm working on Aspen Grove, an exploration-first AI interface, and shipping client work that ranges from multilingual fitness platforms to operational tools for field sales.
I keep the projects section on this site up to date - look for details there.
I'm always interested in hard problems and good conversation. Say hi if you have ideas.
