Principal engineer with 15 years of building the hard parts: I created Gin (88k+ stars), helped take Qwik from proof-of-concept to production with a Rust compiler, designed the compiler architecture and virtual DOM for Stencil, and shipped GPU-accelerated 3D-CT rendering in the browser. Today I set technical direction for Builder.io's AI agent platform.
A text file of one-liners I've muttered at a terminal over the years. Half of them are jokes, several contradict each other on purpose, and a few are firing offenses. None of them are advice.
A signals-and-noise course left me writing Monte Carlo math on paper and wishing the notation itself would run. Nine years later, with an AI agent doing the heavy lifting, NoiseLang became a real Monte-Carlo language with a fused multi-core JIT and a WASM backend.
A stalled startup in 2014 turned into Gin: a Go web framework built on the difference between simple and easy, a radix-tree router, and an API stable enough to survive ten years.
Before LLMs could do it, I taught a model to turn free-form Figma designs into responsive HTML structure. The trick was reframing a variable-size problem into a fixed-size 'which of these two merges is better' question a small tree-based model could answer.
I joined Miško Hevery's team and helped turn Qwik from a resumable-but-painful prototype into a framework that feels like React, backed by a Rust compiler that extracts closures and serializes app state into HTML — so the fast path is the default one.
