// About Me

Who I Am

A frontend developer who builds polished, high-performance web apps including AI-integrated tools like a real-time city dashboard and a streaming concept-mapping app. I care as much about design, accessibility, and performance as I do about features. When I'm not shipping, you'll find me on the mats training jiu jitsu.
