About me
Engineer by craft. Storyteller by trade.
I'm a full-stack engineer who turned a curiosity for code into a career building product, a YouTube channel, and a small studio. I care about taste, performance, and shipping work that feels inevitable.
I started writing software at 14, dropped out of a CS PhD to ship my first SaaS, and have spent the last decade between engineering leadership and a camera. Today I split my time between building products with my team, mentoring early-stage founders, and creating tutorials watched by over a million developers.
- Ex-staff engineer at a Series C fintech
- Founder of two profitable indie products
- Speaker at React Summit, JSConf, GitHub Universe
- Featured by Vercel, Stripe, and The Verge
