About Me
Hey, I'm Alex. Nice to meet you.
I'm a full-stack developer and designer with over 5 years of experience turning complex problems into elegant digital solutions. I care deeply about craft — from the architecture decisions that hold a system together to the micro-interactions that make an interface feel alive.
When I'm not building things, you'll find me hiking trails around the Bay Area, tinkering with side projects, or contributing to open source. I believe in building for the web as a public good — fast, accessible, and inclusive.

How I Work
My Philosophy
Clarity First
I write code and design interfaces that communicate intent clearly. Complexity is a last resort.
Ship & Learn
Perfect is the enemy of shipped. I iterate fast, measure outcomes, and refine based on real usage.
People Over Process
Tools and frameworks change. Strong collaboration and clear communication are timeless.
