01Who · four lines
Self-taught, remote, on Eastern Time.
Wellsville, PA. Remote (ET).
- 01I'm a self-taught Front-End & Design Engineer in Wellsville, PA, working remote on Eastern Time.
- 02I design the interface, prototype it fast, and build the component systems that keep a product consistent.
- 03Since July 2026 I've built products through my own company, Strevian. I co-founded Dwinter, a game studio, with Oscar Winters.
- 04Before that I was at Invisible, Dec 2023 to Apr 2026, Advanced AI Trainer to Software Intern to Software Engineer, and a freelance web developer and UX designer from 2020 to 2023.
02How I work
Director, not typist.
Frame, Options, Pressure-test, Lock, Record.
Agents never approve their own work.
Since July 2026 I've built products through my own company, Strevian. I write the tickets and the engineering standard, make the rulings, design every screen, and review and merge. AI coding agents build behind that standard, then prove the build. Agents never approve their own work.
Every decision goes through the same five steps: Frame, Options, Pressure-test, Lock, Record. One sub-decision at a time, two or three options with a recommendation, then a ruling that is written down.

- 05Recordwritten down
I want holes found, not reassurance.
- 01Root cause over quick fix.
- 02Understand the system before changing it.
- 03Reuse before reinvent.
- 04Humans lead creative work.
03Taste · benchmarks and restraint
Confidence and restraint, not spectacle.
benchmarks
Taste is the deliverable, and taste here means confidence and restraint, not spectacle.
The benchmarks I hold work against: Linear, Stripe, Vercel and Geist, Raycast, Radix, and the motion of Sonner and Emil Kowalski. Warm and human over sterile. Type as a lead element. Color-forward but tokenized, light and dark. Real handcrafted art, credited.
I rejected the first version of the shared design system as competent but generic and had it rebuilt behind review gates I signed off myself.
04Foundations · self-started, at Invisible
Things I started because they were missing.
Invisible, Dec 2023 to Apr 2026.
- 01I started the company's Storybook component library with accessibility testing.
- 02I built the auto-save system used by 1,000+ annotation agents.
- 03I built the operations-manager app and the agent app on a new platform while priorities shifted by the hour, keeping the front end ready ahead of the back end.
- 04As marketing-site dev lead I raised the SEO audit score to 100, about a 50% improvement.
