berserkr (Old Norse, "bear-shirt") — a warrior who charged into battle in a focused fury. I bring the same energy to a codebase — minus the axe. 🐻

I work across three altitudes: hands-on architecture — micro-frontends, design systems, TypeScript — the governance layer above the code that keeps a large frontend estate coherent as it scales across teams and vendors, and the AI leverage that lets a team punch above its size.

I lead by building, not just reviewing. Today that means pairing with agentic tooling — Claude Code, LLMs, MCP — to move faster without lowering the bar, and treating security as a first-class citizen rather than a checklist bolted on at the end: OWASP-aware reviews, secure-by-design defaults, and secrets kept where they belong.

What I truly care about: quality that is measurable, decisions that are written down and survive the person who made them, and products designed around the human actually using them. Proactive, communicative, and always looking one step ahead — like scanning the horizon from the prow of a longship. ⛵

Security & quality 🔒

Platform & tooling

The governance layer above frontend code: Architecture Decision Records, a measurable code-review methodology, and design-system compliance checks enforced in CI. It packages repeatable answers to the real problems of scale — how many teams stay consistent, how you hold a vendor to a quality bar, and why an architecture was chosen — as artifacts that outlive the person who wrote them.
