At Sanity, I rebuilt the official Next.js and Nuxt starter templates and maintained the Astro starter. The four framework templates have 750+ GitHub stars and 200+ forks combined.

I also co-led the Use-Case Starters repo, building the scaffold, AI Shopping Assistant, and Email Marketing starters end to end, and contributing to the Agentic Localization starter. I authored 9 official Serverless Function recipes and contributed to 11 more.

Before that, I worked with enterprise customers as a Senior Solutions Engineer at Sanity, helping teams evaluate and implement the platform. I ran architecture sessions, training, and troubleshooting, and built pre-sales demos around prospects’ content problems and AI workflows.

I co-founded AllDay, a web agency, where I ran design and engineering. I designed and built sites and apps from Figma to production, mostly with Gatsby, Netlify, and Sanity, and helped clients manage and launch content without a developer.
