Open to opportunities

Ten years in, the work has settled into one thing: performance at scale. Core Web Vitals, migrations, and design systems that hold up across a publisher's whole brand portfolio.

At night I build agents. AI_devs 3 Agents in 2024, 10xDevs in 2025, AI_devs 4 Builders this April. That track changed how I work more than any framework has.
