Principles
How I tend to work.
- I care about software feeling fast enough to respect the person using it.
- I treat design systems as product infrastructure, not decoration.
- I am most useful where interface quality and systems architecture need to meet.
- I prefer AI work where the surrounding workflow is designed as carefully as the model call.
