Full stack engineer building with TypeScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL | Auth & identity | React Native
I'm a full stack engineer with 2 years of experience shipping production software in TypeScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. I like building core pieces from scratch to learn how they work, which is how I ended up writing an OpenID Connect identity provider and a zero-dependency HTTP framework on npm.
