What Drives My Work
I approach every project with the same principles: small milestones, shipped value every week, architecture first, then code, then documentation. I prefer constraints, measure results, and always look to remove complexity rather than add it.
Whether it’s a simple WordPress site or a complex blockchain application, the goal is always the same: build something that works reliably and serves real people with real problems.
