The first time I played Dark Castle on a Macintosh SE, I didn’t understand how it worked—I just felt it. The responsive controls, the immersive world, the way software could create wonder. That moment still guides how I build today.

For over 25 years, I’ve designed and developed frontend experiences that turn complexity into clarity, mostly in fintech. I’ve led authentication flows for millions of users, built scalable design systems, and aligned teams around user needs and technical constraints. But after decades in banking UX, I hit a wall. I thought I might be done with code—until I discovered AI-assisted workflows.

Tools like Windsurf reawakened that original spark: the joy of creation, the flow of solving problems. Now, I’m exploring how next-generation tools—AI copilots, design assistants, coding agents—can do more than automate tasks. They need to understand context, collaboration, and the human side of building. Because the best tools don’t just function—they feel right.

I use AI to support better decisions, smarter personalization, and faster iteration—but I never let it lead. People make software meaningful. That’s why I still focus on scalable design systems, inclusive UIs, and thoughtful testing. It’s why I named my company Blueberry Maybe—a reminder to stay curious, playful, and open to improvisation.

If you’re building something that values human experience as much as technical excellence, I’d love to connect.
