How I build

I don't have a "stack." I have opinions about trade-offs.

After fifteen years, the pattern is clear: the best technology choice is the one that disappears. The one your team can maintain at 2 AM. The one that scales without a rewrite in eighteen months.

I've shipped products in C#, Go, PHP, Flutter, TypeScript, and more — not because I chase novelty, but because each problem has a shape, and the tool should fit the shape.
