My Principles in Practice

Over the years, I’ve developed a few core principles that guide how I work, especially i a collaborative, remote-first environment.

Strong Opinions, Weakly Held: I believe in thoroughly researching a technical approach and advocating for it. However, I am always prepared to be convinced by a better argument or new data. The best solution is the goal, not my original idea.

Documentation is an Act of Empathy: I treat documentation not as a chore, but as a fundamental part of the engineering process. Well-commented code, clear pull request descriptions, and updated wikis are how a remote team stays in sync and moves fast. It’s about respecting my future self and my teammates.

Embracing Feedback as a Tool for Growth: I actively seek out and appreciate direct, constructive feedback on my code and ideas. I see rigorous code reviews not as a critique, but as the fastest way for the entire team to learn and improve the quality of our work.
