Who am I?

People often look at my work and wonder whether I’m a designer or a developer or a PM or a marketer. I’m not an or at all. I’m an and.

On any given day I might write positioning strategy before breakfast; write, design and implement a landing page mid-morning; sketch user flows after lunch; and implement UI error states before dinner. I’ve shipped products as a designer, as a PM, and as a developer. Usually some mixture of the three.

If you’re hiring for a single role that needs to be all of those things, that’s me.

What do I like?

I like user interfaces that are designed for normal people. I wrote an article to that effect, which topped Hacker News. If you’re a nerd, you know that’s a big deal for nerds.

You could call me an input device enthusiast. I built LanWhisper so that I could mostly stop typing and simply dictate. Still, I love my ZSA Moonlander.

Other things I like:

• Designing for metacognition
• Tenebrist paintings: St. Jerome Writing, The Alchemist Discovering Phosphorus
• Homelab experimentation and media servers
• Pretending Linux is easy now because Claude Code
