The way I build

Code is the easy part.The product is the point.

I care less about the ticket and more about the person on the other side of the screen. I build with the team, pay attention to the small things and stay around after it ships.

How I work / From problem to production

Understand the product.
Then build it right.

I don't wait for the perfect ticket. I find the problem, write it down, build it with the team and keep watching it after release.

01 / 04

Understand

Who uses it, what hurts and what "done" looks like. I find problems before someone files them.

Product · Users · Problem
02 / 04

Spec it

Scope, edge cases and trade-offs written down and agreed with the team before coding.

Spec · Scope · Trade-offs

Build together

Small steps, shared early and covered by tests. AI speeds up the typing; I review every line.

Code · Tests · Review
04 / 04

Own it

Alerts, dashboards and playbooks, so the whole team knows what's happening in production.
