I prioritize shipping over hype. Real value comes from building systems that work reliably in production, not from chasing the latest framework or buzzword.

Maintainability matters. Code is read far more than it's written, so I write for the next engineer—clear, well-structured, and documented where it counts.

AI as a practical tool, not magic. I integrate AI where it solves real problems—RAG for context-aware responses, automation for repetitive tasks, and tooling that amplifies productivity without replacing critical thinking.
