The
Method

Building with purpose.
And a little bit of care.

/01

CONTEXT

I try to understand the 'why' before the 'how'. Solving the right problem is more important than writing clever code.

/02

SIMPLICITY

Complexity is often just a lack of clarity. I aim for code that is easy to read, easy to change, and easy to delete.

/03

RESILIENCE

Things break. I try to build systems that handle failure gracefully, using strong types and automation to catch issues early.

/04

OPENNESS

I don't work in a silo. I ask questions, share early drafts, and believe that the best work happens with constant feedback.

/05

DETAIL

It's not done until it feels right. I care about the polish, the interactions, and the small things that users notice.
