Consider the automobile. You sit in one for the first time and immediately become aware of a thousand indignities. The lumbar support that mocks your spine's natural curvature. The power controls that promise adjustment but deliver only frustration. On a long journey, it's the small things that conspire against you.
This is my focus: crafting digital interfaces where form and function align with human intuition. I collaborate with UX teams to transform designs into intuitive, accessible experiences that feel natural to use.
There's a poetry to well-structured HTML that most will never see but everyone will feel. It's the skeleton of the web, the quiet architecture that shapes how information flows. I craft markup as a sonnet for machines to read, a hook for a screenreader to latch on to. A well structured document should flow naturally with all CSS turned off.
And then there are the APIs - those invisible handshakes between front-end and back-end. There's craft and refinement that most don't realize. These conversations between servers and browsers. I help shape these dialogues to be efficient, elegant, and mercifully free of the awkward pauses that make web browsing feel like waiting for a dial-up connection in the age of fiber optics.
As a front-end engineer, I occupy the liminal space between design and functionality, between human intention and machine interpretation. The best interfaces are the ones you forget you're using, like a well-designed car seat that disappears beneath you on a long journey, leaving only the road ahead and the quiet satisfaction of a task made simple.
