A career, hand-graphed

The same CV, drawn instead of listed. Hover or tap anything to see what’s behind it. The lines are sketchy; the numbers are real.

Fig. 1 —

Ten years from student to Frontend Lead — a UI library, a design-system rewrite and the architecture calls behind them. Still climbing. Hover a landmark for the short version, click for the full one.

Fig. 3 — opinions, held loosely

dependsevery time
Types before cleverness
A design system beats one-off UI
Small PRs, fast reviews
Tests where they earn their keep
WET before DRY — write it twice, then abstract

Strong opinions, weakly held — the codebase gets a vote too.

Every project has this shape. Confidence bottoms out mid-build — coffee peaks in exactly the same place, which is probably not a coincidence.

Fig. 5 — where the week goes

Writing code35%
Code review20%
Mentoring20%
Deciding what to build15%
Meetings10%

Roughly a third of the week is hands-on-keyboard. The rest is the job that makes the code worth writing.
