About
Frontend engineer in Los Angeles. I build the kind of software you never have to Google how to use.
I grew up in Jamaica, studied computer science in Connecticut and California, and now live in Los Angeles. I’ve spent more than five years building product interfaces, much of it as one of the first engineers at a startup, where the frontend is whatever you make it.
My favorite part of the job is watching something confusing finally click for people: fewer steps, clearer choices, less second-guessing. Simple doesn’t have to mean plain, though. I made this site’s home page a book, and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve built.
Off the clock, I’m usually reading, playing basketball or video games, or out in the garden.
Experience
- 2026–nowDatabricksA platform where companies keep their data and build AI on it.I build user-facing features, from the product spec through to release.
- 2025–2026PantherA security platform that helps teams spot and stop attacks across their cloud and apps.I built the interface for Panther’s AI features and automated the testing of its AI agents.
- 2024–2025DatableA startup that lets companies clean up their monitoring data before paying to store it.As a founding engineer, I built the frontend from scratch and some of the APIs behind it.
- 2020–2023Presidio IdentityA startup that helped banks check who their customers are and stop fraud.As the first engineering hire, I built the web and mobile apps and the tools we shipped them with.
What I’m building
Outside work I build things to learn the parts of engineering my job doesn’t cover. Right now that’s Bezl, a prototype for handing patches between coding agents, and kbui, the design system my projects share. Plus this site.
I lean on AI for the grunt work: scaffolding tests, making the same edit in a dozen places, getting a rough first draft down. The parts I actually care about, like how it all fits together, the fiddly interface code and how it looks, I do myself.
