builder ; poet ; martial artist ; slow cook

I write code the way a poet writes verse; with intention, restraint, and a stubborn belief that the right line changes everything. On the mat, I learned that discipline is quiet. In the kitchen, I learned that patience is not passive; it is presence. I bring both into every system I build.

My north star: build things that serve people before they serve metrics.

Craft Code by day. Poetry and debate by night. The two practices aren't different — both demand honesty about what you're really trying to say.

Discipline Martial arts taught me that mastery is showing up when it's unglamorous. Cooking taught me that the best things cannot be rushed.

Purpose I don't build products. I build infrastructure for people going through real things — new motherhood, broken finances, invisible struggles.

Because the fourth trimester is real and the world has been mostly quiet about it. AfterMa is a postpartum care platform that holds space for new mothers; physically, emotionally, practically. Built not for metrics; built for the moment a new mother feels less alone.

Financial intelligence shouldn't be a privilege. Conduit bridges open banking data with human-readable insight; making the system legible to the people who need it most. Not another fintech dashboard; a translator between complex data and real human decisions.

01  Good software, like good poetry, says the essential thing and stops.

02  A black belt and a slow braise both require the same thing: faith in the process.

03  The best debates; like the best pull requests; sharpen the idea, not the ego.

04  Technology is a story we tell each other. I want mine to be one people are grateful for.

Open to conversations about care tech, fintech for equity, poetry, the philosophy of martial arts, or what's on the stove.

Built with patience ; shipped with purpose.

"The poem and the program are both just instructions for a world that doesn't exist yet."
