# Career

I’m Deep — a design engineer focused on building thoughtful, high-quality software.

My work has always lived between design and engineering. I care deeply about how products feel, how they work, and how small details shape the overall experience. For me, great software is not just functional — it is clear, fast, refined, and built with intention.

Over the years, I’ve worked across product design, frontend engineering, and full-stack product development. That mix has shaped how I approach building: I think in systems, obsess over details, and care about turning ideas into polished products people actually enjoy using.

## Now

I’m currently building **Resurf**, a macOS-first personal library for capturing and resurfacing things that matter — links, notes, images, files, and ideas.

Resurf reflects a lot of what I care about:
- calm, native-feeling user experiences
- fast and intentional workflows
- local-first thinking
- strong product taste
- tools that support everyday thinking and creativity

As an indie founder, I work across every part of the product — design, engineering, product strategy, branding, launch, and iteration.

## Previously

In the past, I’ve worked with teams such as **Profound**, **Endex**, and **Mintlify**.

Those experiences shaped how I think about design engineering: combining product thinking, interface craft, and technical execution to create software that feels polished, useful, and intentional.

My background has always blended:
- product design
- frontend engineering
- full-stack development
- design systems
- rapid prototyping
- zero-to-one product building

Earlier on, I also built an open-source local-first AI chat app focused on multi-provider support, deep research workflows, and agent orchestration.

## What I care about

I care about building software that feels:
- clear
- fast
- polished
- useful
- deeply considered

I’m especially drawn to products at the intersection of creativity, tooling, and new technology. I enjoy crafting interfaces, building design systems, prototyping ideas quickly, and engineering products end-to-end.

A lot of my work revolves around:
- personal knowledge and memory
- creative and productivity tools
- AI-native interfaces
- local-first software
- developer tools
- systems-driven product design

## How I work

I like working close to the product.

That often means moving across:
- idea exploration
- interface design
- prototyping
- engineering
- product strategy
- launch and iteration

I enjoy taking products from zero to one and refining them until they feel alive. Sometimes the most important work is in the architecture. Sometimes it is in a one-line interaction detail. Both matter.

I care about details like typography, spacing, motion, states, consistency, accessibility, and performance just as much as I care about architecture and systems. Good software is the result of all of these things working together.

## On design engineering

To me, design engineering is not just about bridging design and code.

It is about:
- crafting experiences with care
- thinking in systems
- experimenting quickly
- making ambitious ideas real
- keeping quality high as products scale

AI has made this role even more exciting. It gives builders more leverage than ever to explore, prototype, and build quickly. But I still believe the real advantage comes from judgment — knowing what to build, what to simplify, and how to make something feel coherent.

Tools change. Taste, clarity, and execution matter in every era.

## Looking ahead

I want to keep building software that leaves a lasting impression — products that are useful, beautiful, and made with care.

I’m especially interested in the future of creative tools, AI-assisted workflows, and software that supports human thought rather than competing with it.

That’s the kind of work I want to keep doing.
