01 / Product mindset
Systems over screens.
My work sits at the intersection of engineering and product thinking. Rather than just shipping features, I focus on building systems: platforms, tools, and interfaces that solve real problems and can evolve over time.
02 / Engineering craft
Fast, accessible, maintainable.
Technically, my foundation is rooted in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, combined with component-driven architecture, clean state management, and performance-first thinking. I build interfaces where every interaction has a purpose.
03 / How I work
From imperfect idea to shipped product.
Across team settings and independent product development, I have built MVPs, UI systems, authentication flows, dashboards, and content-driven platforms, often bridging the gap between design and engineering.
04 / Writing
Documenting the space between idea and execution.
Writing is a core part of my process. I document what I learn, from technical deep dives to reflections on building products, shipping imperfect versions, and navigating the reality of modern web development.
05 / This site
Why OpenGraph Check exists.
I built OpenGraph Check after debugging one broken link preview too many. Every social platform caches previews differently, truncates differently, and fails silently — and the official debuggers only show one platform at a time. This site scans a URL the way the crawlers actually do, without JavaScript, and renders the result for all major platforms at once. It runs on Next.js, is free, requires no signup, and has grown into a small collection of SEO tools: favicon checks, sitemap and robots.txt validation, speed tests — plus the guides in the blog, all written by me and based on problems I actually ran into.
