What I Care About

Performant Modern Web Development

I care deeply about maximizing frontend performance through new browser APIs and modern ECMAScript features.

Open Source Contribution

Active contributor and maintainer to a number of open source projects in the Javascript and Rust ecosystems.

Better, Scalable React

The state of modern react is abysmal. I am going to drag it out of the shitheap that is modern react frameworks, whether it comes willingly or not.
