03 About

I taught myself to code in high school and haven't stopped building since. Today I'm a backend engineer at Versa, working on the services, queues and cloud infrastructure that keep a product running. On the side I build products end to end, from Scoutify for the scouting community to apps with hundreds of real users, and I put out open-source tooling for AI coding agents.
