About Me
Crafting the web, one pixel at a time
Hey — I'm Alex. I'm a full-stack developer and product designer with 5+ years of experience building beautiful, scalable web applications.
My work sits at the intersection of engineering rigor and design sensibility. I believe that great software isn't just functional — it should be a pleasure to use. From pixel-perfect animations to database schema design, I care about every layer of the stack.
When I'm not pushing code, you'll find me hiking California trails, shooting film photography, or obsessing over coffee brewing techniques. The same attention to craft applies everywhere.

Principles
How I work
Intentional
Every design decision has a reason. I ask "why" before I ask "how".
Performance-first
Fast is a feature. I build with Core Web Vitals and real users in mind.
Accessible
The web should work for everyone. Accessibility is not an afterthought.
Iterative
Ship early, learn fast, refine constantly. Perfect is the enemy of shipped.
Systematic
Scalable components, consistent patterns. Design systems over one-offs.
Collaborative
Great products are built by great teams. I communicate early and often.
