Building applications for the modern age
Over the years, I’ve been trusted by both startups and software agencies to build applications, websites, mobile apps, and browser extensions. Some of the companies I’ve worked for include AppSignal, Balena, and Causaly
On the technical side, I enjoy working with React, TypeScript, Elixir, and Next.js among others. I’m also exploring Rust and steadily learning the ropes.

And a few things I’ve learned along the way:
- Give demos, send GIFs, and record videos. Show your work early, and often.
- Give it 5 minutes. Don’t shoot down ideas immediately, let them simmer.
- Your throwaway prototype will almost always hit production. Plan accordingly.
- Ship and iterate, ship and iterate, ship and iterate.
- There are no stupid questions. There are stupid outcomes due to misunderstandings.
- Your user is probably tired, frustrated, and out of patience. Don't make their experience worse.
- The best technical solution isn’t always the right business solution.
