Building the future of Swift web development, one type-safe function at a time.
I'm pioneering server-side Swift through production systems that prove the language's potential beyond iOS. My work demonstrates that Swift's type safety and expressiveness make it ideal for building robust web applications.

I build tools that make wrong things impossible. Every abstraction removes entire classes of errors. My frameworks don't just work - they teach you how to build better systems.
Core beliefs:
- Type safety is a feature, not overhead
- Swift's future extends far beyond Apple platforms
- The best code is code that guides its users
- Building in public accelerates everyone's learning
- From Broke to Building in Public - Why I open-sourced my business
