Stealth Startup (Ostiara)
Building Ostiara solo, end to end: a platform for door-to-door sales teams across home-service verticals, built for, pest control, solar, roofing, fencing, security. Shipped the marketing site, an admin dashboard, and a teams-and-roles system on Clerk Organizations with Supabase row-level security, all wearing a design system I built for it. Ran customer-discovery interviews to learn how reps actually quote prices on a doorstep.

Content Creator & Builder
Built an architecture-building community on Roblox (Bloxburg): designed and shared original builds that passed 300,000+ views, produced tutorial content, and grew a global audience of fellow builders. Started as genuine enjoyment and became an exercise in showing up consistently.

What I Do
Full products end to end, the engineering, the design system, and the story around them.
About
The person behind the stuff you see, where I'm based, what I care about, and how I like to work.
I'm a high school junior in Boulder and a self taught aspiring developer who builds full products solo, backend architecture, the design system, and the marketing copy in between. I work mostly in Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, with Claude Code as a regular collaborator.
