About

Full-stack developer focused on AI products and iOS apps. I move fast by building with AI agents and picking up new tools early. I like making things that are simple and actually useful.

Built Robotaxi Tracker, which grew to over a million visits in its first few months. It's now the go-to independent source for AV deployment data — cited by The New York Times, Business Insider, Electrek, Gizmodo, and Automotive News. Elon Musk liked my post about the project on X.
