01 — Profile

Artist first, self-taught in UI/UX, and now a design engineer — I stopped handing my designs over the wall and started building them myself. With AI tools in the loop I own the whole distance: research → design → production code → live deploy. That's how a marketing-site rebuild, a design-token system and an AI assistant all shipped with my name on the commits.
