How I can help

From prototype sketches to production deploys

I like projects with clear problems, honest constraints, and a shipping mindset. Here’s the kind of work I usually say yes to.

Product‑minded frontends

React · Next.js · TypeScript

Pixel‑steady interfaces that load fast, handle edge‑cases, and feel good to use.

Static & Jamstack sites

Marketing, docs & personal sites

SEO‑friendly, low‑maintenance sites with almost no moving parts. Ideal for founders and solo devs.

E‑commerce builds

Shopify · Headless · WooCommerce

Clean storefronts with performance budgets, analytics hooks, and straightforward admin workflows.

Performance & UX passes

Audits & refactors

Diagnosing slow, fragile frontends and tightening them up without a full rewrite.

Prototypes & experiments

Idea validation

Small, focused builds to test a product idea with real users in days, not months.

Developer‑facing tools

Dashboards & internal tooling

Interfaces and utilities that make other builders faster, calmer, and less error‑prone.

Writing

Thinking in public

I write about frontend craft, performance, debugging, and the small decisions that make products feel trustworthy.

About

Power, conflict & the architecture of ideas

I care about the systems behind the UI — the decisions, constraints and trade‑offs that make software feel honest.

Human history is a story of power. It moves silently behind governments, ideologies, and revolutions. No empire rises without belief, and no belief survives without conflict.

At its core, politics is about who decides what matters. Philosophy taught me that every system, whether moral or political, begins with a question: what is good, what is just, what should endure.

I’m drawn to moments where ideas meet force and new orders are born. Wars don’t start because people disagree — they start because someone insists their idea must rule.

Our digital world is no different. The web is a modern territory where algorithms act as laws, platforms as states, and users as citizens. Behind every viral post and buried truth is a decision of power.

And here, code becomes political. Every line written is a choice about what can happen and what cannot. In a world shaped by invisible systems, writing code is not just technical work — it’s a persistent, quiet act of shaping reality.

I like working with people who think in systems, respect constraints, and want their products to feel considered — not loud.
