02 — About

Architecture that holds up over time.

/01

Front-end as architecture

I treat the front end as a first-class system — clear boundaries, strong contracts through a BFF layer, and observability baked in, not bolted on.

/02

Performance is a feature

Real User Monitoring and Core Web Vitals drive my decisions. I ship fast experiences and prove the impact with real-world data.

/03

Multiply the team

The best architecture is the kind a whole team can extend. I mentor engineers, set standards, and build the reusable libraries that keep everyone fast.
