Software Engineer building thoughtful, scalable systems.

I work across frontend, backend, and software architecture, turning complex requirements into maintainable systems. My interests include Domain-Driven Design, distributed systems, developer tooling, and AI agents.

01 / ABOUT

Engineering beyond the feature.

I’m a Software Engineer who enjoys understanding not only how to implement a feature, but how it fits into the system around it. My work spans frontend and backend development, with particular interest in software architecture, domain modeling, system boundaries, maintainability, and designing codebases that remain understandable as products grow. I regularly work with Domain-Driven Design, Hexagonal Architecture, Clean Architecture, event-driven communication, distributed systems, and modern React application architecture. More recently, I’ve been exploring AI agents, LLM-powered applications, coding agents, and agentic development workflows.

03 / PROJECTS

Selected Projects

Public projects where I explore software architecture, AI, and developer tooling.

Mini-Code

A lightweight coding agent built in TypeScript that inspects local repositories, identifies relevant files, creates structured implementation plans, applies changes with human approval, runs tests, and iteratively fixes failures.

04 / PRINCIPLES

How I think about software

Understand the domain

Good software starts with understanding the problem, not choosing the framework.

Make boundaries explicit

Clear responsibilities and system boundaries make complexity easier to manage.

Optimize for change

Architecture should help a system evolve rather than freeze it in place.

Keep complexity intentional

Abstractions should remove complexity, not simply move it somewhere else.

06 / EXPLORING

AI Agents & Agentic Software Engineering

I’m currently deepening my understanding of how to design reliable agentic systems: how agents plan, use tools, maintain state, work with context and memory, verify their actions, and operate safely within controlled workflows. My current focus is on moving beyond simple LLM integrations toward more structured agent architectures, with particular interest in orchestration, human-in-the-loop design, observability, verification, and multi-agent workflows.
