Hi, I'm Jay. I love building products that help builders ship faster. I code projects as a passion and believe every idea deserves at least a weekend.
What drives me? DX, speed and performance. I care about creating devtools that feel like magic.
When I'm not building, I write about programming, sharing insights and learnings from my journey as a developer.
