How did you get into tech?

I started in software engineering. I’ve always been detail-oriented — I like breaking problems apart, organizing them, and then building something that makes sense. Over time I realized I care just as much about how people experience software as I do about how the code works. That pulled me toward design engineering. For me, design and code aren’t separate — they’re two sides of the same craft.

Why are you at MilkStraw AI?

I want to build things that feel thoughtful and polished. I’m drawn to teams that care about details, and MilkStraw is a place where I can grow while working on projects that demand both creativity and precision.

Where do you find inspiration?

Mostly away from screens. I walk a lot — it clears my head and sparks ideas. Libraries and quiet places help me focus, and real-world spaces like furniture showrooms and interiors remind me how physical details and layout shape how something feels. Those observations translate back into my digital work.

What does your desktop/home screen look like?

Favorite tool?

Raycast. It keeps me fast, organized, and focused without breaking flow.

⌘ + Shift + P

Favorite place to visit?

Libraries and quiet corners of the city. I like places where I can slow down, focus, and think without distraction.

Advice for ambitious design engineers?

Don’t just think about how things work — think about how they feel. Obsess over the details, but also ship often. Read widely, not just about design or engineering, but anything that sharpens your perspective.
