{' Technical Expertise '}
Skills &
Technologies
These are the technologies I rely on daily to build modern, scalable applications. Each one chosen for its power, developer experience, and real-world impact.
TypeScript
Type-Safe Excellence
I can't imagine writing JavaScript without TypeScript anymore. The instant feedback when I make a typo, the autocomplete that actually knows my code, and the confidence to refactor without fear—it's like having a co-pilot that catches my mistakes before they become bugs.
React
UI Building Blocks
React clicks with how I think about interfaces—break it down into components, make each piece do one thing well, then compose them together. The ecosystem is unmatched, and there's always a well-maintained solution for whatever problem I'm solving.
shadcn/ui
Beautiful by Default
I love that shadcn/ui gives me ownership of my components—no fighting with library CSS or waiting for PRs to merge. Copy, tweak, ship. The components look polished out of the box, but when I need to customize them, the code is right there in my project.
Claude Code
AI-Powered Development
Claude Code has fundamentally changed how I build software. It understands the full context of my codebase, handles the tedious parts so I can focus on architecture and design decisions, and honestly makes coding more fun. It's my go-to tool for shipping faster.
