About

I'm a senior software engineer based in Massachusetts, USA. I've been writing software professionally since 2014 — started as a frontend JavaScript developer, slowly worked my way across the stack, and now spend most of my time in Rails and React with a side of React Native.

I work fully remote in the healthcare industry, which means I spend a lot of time thinking about systems that need to be reliable when it matters. I care about code that works, tests that catch real things, and workflows that don't require a manual to understand.

Lately I've been diving into agentic development. Optimizing the implementation loop — offloading the repetitive, checkbox-style tasks that add friction — has helped me stay focused on actually solving problems. That opened a door to exploring how to extend those capabilities beyond code and into day-to-day life.

The name "Impaired Programming" is intentional — it's a double meaning. Part of it is a nod to AI-assisted development, where handing the wheel to an agent is sometimes a superpower and sometimes a liability. The other part is more personal: as an engineer with ADHD, navigating project planning, context-switching, and follow-through with a brain that doesn't always cooperate is a real challenge. I know I'm not alone in that. What I've found is that the same traits that make it hard — the hyperfocus, the pattern-matching, the need for systems that actually fit — also make building those systems worth it. So that's what I'm trying to do: build tools and workflows that work with how I think, not against it. It's an approach I try to bring to all of my problems.

When I'm not at my desk, I'm probably playing board games with my wife, taking on a different kind of role in Dungeons & Dragons, or watching my son identify every truck that drives past.
