I build applications for District. My current typical stack is React (oxc, vite, tanstack - ex-Next.js), Typescript, Tailwind, GraphQL, Cloudflare. Occasionally I write my own code, but these days I spend a lot of time trying to make my agentic harness less stupid.
In a previous life, I was the lead for Android/Web telemetry at Snapchat - building crazy efficient data protocols to collect data about how the Snapchat app experience let you down. Before that, I created infrastructure to enable Amazon Go's self-driving grocery stores scale to 10,000s of stores ("fortunately", Amazon killed the whole thing before that claim could be tested).
I've lived and worked in London, Bangkok, Seattle and New York City.
Passionate about exploring new languages and tools, being data driven, and ultimately changing the world. Or maybe just building cool stuff.
