I'm a product-minded engineer who aims to bridge technical execution and user-centric outcomes.
What does that mean? I prioritize impactful functionality, intuitive workflows, and scalable design, all without sacrificing code quality or maintainability. You won't find me arguing about the pros and cons of the latest Javascript frameworks, that's for sure. I'm more interested in aligning engineering decisions with business goals, and advocating for the end-user experience at every stage of development.
To put it simply, I ask questions like "why do we care?", "why
should the user care?" and "does this even make sense?"
(And on code reviews, "are we sure this is what we want to do?" 😶🌫️)
