Radio Garden made radio feel like geography. Atlas FM asks what happens when that idea is built as an iPhone app, with station handoffs, haptics, Drift mode, saved songs, and failure states treated as part of the product.
Continue readingA visual refresh exposed a structural problem. I used an agent-first workflow to turn that diagnosis into a real Swift design system, with shared tokens, UIKit and SwiftUI parity, and a path into production.
Continue readingA shipped cross-platform workflow for tracking Copilot agent sessions, reading native logs, and taking the next step on mobile. My part lived in the production stretch, in implementation review, cross-platform coherence, and the edge cases that make the feature trustworthy.

Most note apps try to be everything. I built Kurzgedacht with stronger opinions around temporary focus, clean attachments, forgiving search, and a data model that keeps those decisions honest.

Most color tools work, but few feel good. (Alles) Paletti is a SwiftUI experiment in animation, haptics, and the small details that make a utility feel considered.
Continue readingShutting down a beloved product is mostly a trust problem. We moved millions of users into Microsoft To Do by treating the migration as the product, not as an export flow.

I use AI to synthesize source material, challenge weak directions, and move into runnable SwiftUI prototypes with real behavior. The goal isn't faster mockups, it's something real enough to judge and defend.
Continue readingThe language we use in meetings shapes what we build. Call it "sharing," and you build access, but call it "collaboration," and the team starts looking at how people actually work together.

I built a stopwatch to see what happens when a simple tool has nowhere to hide. It forced decisions about precision, trust, and the imperfect conditions people actually use timers in.
Continue readingI pushed back on forking repositories on GitHub Mobile because I thought it was too heavy for mobile. Users proved me wrong, which changed how I read feature requests.
Continue readingNotifications are usually noise. We designed Focused Notifications to reduce the noise without breaking trust. Most of the work was respecting where users already were.
Continue readingCode review is heavy work. I worked with engineering to break it into smaller mobile steps without losing the context that makes reviews safe enough to trust.
Continue readingI do my best work where product judgment, systems thinking, and code meet, usually in native apps, design systems, AI-assisted workflows, and teams that care about quality all the way into production.
