Engineer, traveller, note-taker
Software engineer by day. Off the clock I travel, write down thoughts, and build small tools like GetSet for Chrome.
Distracting Life is me distracting myself with good things: amazing places, people and stories, so I am not only absorbed in everyday life.
I pay my bills by building software. The rest of the time goes to travelling, writing down thoughts and making small things, and this site is where they end up.
Countries I have been to. More stamps to come.
Side projects I build on my own.
Chrome extension
Make localhost look exactly like staging.
Copy a site's local storage, session storage and cookies, then set them on another site in one click. Built for reproducing staging and production state on localhost without editing values in DevTools.
Something I built for my day job.
AI assistant, built at work
Reliable where we can be, flexible where we have to be.
Support complaints used to bounce between support and developers: escalate, wait, run queries by hand, reply. Nobody asked me to fix it; I built Maya on weekends and late nights. Now support asks a question and gets a clear, actionable answer in seconds, with no escalation in most cases.
How I work, day to day.
Working with stakeholders to understand what they actually need, asking the right questions early, and turning requirements into clear plans the team can build.
Working closely with the design team to improve the product, from early ideas to the small details that make it easy to use, on desktop and mobile.
Owning features from the database to the UI, mostly in TypeScript, React and Node.js, and shipping them in small, reviewable steps.
Measuring before shipping, testing what matters, and watching production so problems surface before users notice them.
Shared components, review standards and AI-assisted workflows that help the team move faster without lowering the bar.
