I started in UI/UX — eight-plus years of design work before I wrote production code. The crossover is the thing I sell: I can sit with a PM and sketch the interaction, then go build it through to the database without a handoff.
Lately I'm happiest in the messy middle of products that don't exist yet — picking the stack, drawing the first screens, shipping the v0 to real users, and rewriting whichever parts were wrong. Phosphene is the current version of that itch.
Based in Vietnam. Comfortable async. Open to senior IC, founding engineer, or design-engineering roles.
