Software Engineer · Designer · AI-Native

I build user-focused web experiences — balancing the functional and the artistic, with a care for detail, usability, and craft. I think AI-first, pairing with it to design and ship fast.

Selected Work
(01) — About

A passionate web developer and designer crafting interfaces where usability and craft meet.

I'm currently a frontend engineer at Yield Guild Games, building web3 gaming experiences, and recently completed my studies at Langara College.

Lately I've been deepening my craft on two fronts — applying system-design thinking to build more resilient, well-architected products, and weaving AI into my workflow to ship with greater speed, reliability, and quality. I'm drawn to problems that demand both: intuitive, accessible interfaces backed by sound engineering.

Working with Kobe was one of the highlights of my internship experience. As a first-time intern, I was fortunate to have him as my mentor, and from our very first meeting, his positive energy and approachable personality made me feel comfortable right away.

He played a huge role in building my confidence during my internship. Whenever I had questions or faced challenges, he was always patient, supportive, and willing to guide me. Because of that, I was able to grow quickly and perform my responsibilities with confidence.
