Highlights

Full profile

I carefully craft well-organized user-centered web applications, websites, developer tools and APIs.

What I love doing:

  • Building performant, modular, component-based web applications.
  • Creating accessible and responsive interfaces + web pages.
  • Designing secure, well-tested APIs with various kinds of databases.

Besides that, these are some of the more niche things I've done:

  • Researched and utilized several cryptographic methods and algorithms to build web applications that operate in a distributed fashion. This includes things such as PRF passkey encryption, establishing secure tunnels between devices, and synchronizing encrypted data between users using P2P tech.
  • Implemented libraries & SDKs for content-addressed and distributed computing protocols such as UCAN and WNFS, and then using them in web applications.

A project I've been working on since before the beginning of my career. It's taken a lot of different shapes, but still revolves around the same core idea: listen to your audio files from the cloud or your machine. The latest iteration is local-first, cooperative and malleable software.

A library I wrote in several languages. It allows you to build static websites, among other things, without confirming to a specific directory structure.

This is the SDK I was responsible for back when I worked for a startup called Fission. It allowed for fully distributed web application without requiring a custom backend.
