Fifteen years of craft, sharpened by AI tooling.

The way I write code has changed more in the last eighteen months than in the previous fifteen years. Cursor and Claude Code are part of my daily flow. Not as autocomplete, but as a second pair of hands.

On the product side, I'm fascinated by interfaces designed around models rather than bolted onto them: streaming UIs, generative components, tool-calling experiences. The UX of working alongside an LLM is still being invented; that's the part I want to be in.

Editor Cursor + Claude Code
Models Claude, GPT, Gemini
SDKs Vercel AI SDK, Anthropic
UI patterns Streaming, tools, agents
Stance AI-native, not AI-bolted
