About

My interest in photography eventually led me into web design. As I designed and implemented websites, I discovered how enjoyable coding could be and grew more interested in frontend development.

I started with static HTML/CSS and now often write JavaScript/TypeScript and use web frameworks such as Astro and React. Recently, I have been making extensive use of generative AI tools such as Codex and Claude Code, while exploring how to collaborate with and make use of AI in my day-to-day work.
