/ WHO I AM

Engineer who ships.

I'm Reu, a full-stack engineer focused on AI-powered products and developer tooling.

I take products from rough idea to production: data model, API surface, frontend architecture, performance, and the operational details that make a system feel reliable. I lean hard into modern AI tooling, not to skip the rigor, but to compress the loop between "what if" and "shipped."

Recent focus: LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, and the kind of interface details that make a senior-feeling product land: type, motion, and the choices that hold up at the third read.

WHAT I DO

  • Full-stack engineering

    End-to-end ownership of products: schema design, API surface, frontend architecture, and the operational glue that keeps it running.

  • AI-powered products

    LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, structured-output extraction, and AI-assisted developer workflows, built with thoughtful UX and safe defaults.

  • Developer tooling

    Small sharp tools that take a tedious task and make it feel obvious. Bias for command-line ergonomics and zero-config setup.

  • Interface craft

    Disciplined typography, restrained motion, and the small product decisions that compound into a senior-feeling product.

HOW I THINK

Performance is a feature

Slow apps lose users before they lose tests. I default to server rendering, lean bundles, and image budgets, then verify with real metrics, not vibes.

Architecture that earns its complexity

Three similar lines is better than a premature abstraction. I reach for boring tools that compose well over clever ones that lock you in.

Production-readiness from day one

Graceful failure paths, observable systems, sensible defaults. The interesting part of shipping isn't v1. It's v1.1 when something goes wrong at 2am.

Developer experience is product experience

Good DX accelerates every future change. Fast feedback loops, clear errors, and tooling that respects your attention pay off compounding interest.

Bucketed by depth, not by what's trendy. Where I sit on the curve matters more than what's on it.
