Creative, passionate, not-your-typical full stack dev. Proven js/ts wiz who has made apps that stretch the limits of the browser from prototype to production for multiple early-stage YC startups across biotech and fintech. Secretly dreams of being able to work on something cool with his true passion, Lisp (CL experienced, clojure dabbler), but would love to chat about anything else. Cursor can pull Emacs out of my cold dead hands, but Claude Code works alright!
