How I Work

I use coding agents to move faster, but I still own the work. I set the scope and architecture, review every diff, and verify the result with tests and telemetry before it ships. My workflow keeps changing as better tools appear; I test them on real work and keep the ones that earn a place.

Projects

Built and shipped a production web app for benchmarking and training visual speed through six interactive exercises, with server-authoritative scoring, adaptive workouts, accounts, and subscriptions.
