I build software the way I'd want it built for me: readable, honest, and small enough to fit in someone's head. The job isn't to ship the cleverest abstraction — it's to leave the codebase better than I found it for whoever inherits it next.

After a decade between consultancies, healthtech, and side projects, what sticks is this: good engineering is a long game. Patterns matter less than the discipline to read what you wrote yesterday and ask if it's still the simplest thing that works.

Lately I'm fascinated by what AI changes about the craft — not as autocomplete, but as a collaborator. Most of what you're reading on this site was written next to one.
