I build software and I design it, and I’ve stopped trying to pick a side. During the week I ship features for a SaaS platform that 50+ hospitals depend on. On weekends I dig into context engineering for LLMs. It’s the same curiosity, just pointed at different problems.

The work I’m most proud of tends to be the quiet kind. APIs whose names actually tell you what they do. Interfaces that stay out of your way. Code a teammate can pick up and extend without needing me in the room to explain it.

I tend to break problems into parts, the way you would a UI. I’d rather commit in small steps than make one big risky change. And I keep a notebook, because writing things down is usually how I work out what I actually think.
