Engineering Philosophy
How I think about building software
01
Performance is a feature
Every millisecond of load time costs real users. I treat Core Web Vitals as hard constraints from day one — not an afterthought before release. A fast product is a respectful product, and the engineering choices that enable speed compound across the entire codebase.
02
Design and engineering are one discipline
The best interfaces emerge when the person writing the code understands why a design decision was made, not just what it looks like. I invest in design-token systems, shared language with designers, and close feedback loops that keep intent intact from Figma to production.
03
Systems thinking over clever solutions
Clever code impresses in a PR review; well-structured systems hold up through two years of team turnover and a product pivot. I optimise for clarity, composability, and constraints that make the wrong choice harder to make than the right one.

I Switched to Fable 5 on Day One. Four Days Later the Government Shut It Off.
Four days ago I made Claude Fable 5 the default in my Claude Code. On Friday at 5:21pm ET, the US government issued an export-control directive forcing Anthropic to disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 globally — over a 'narrow jailbreak' that's really just asking a model to read a codebase and find the bugs. Here's what's confirmed, what breaks for anyone who adopted it, the clean path back to Opus 4.8, and the honest lesson about building on a model that can vanish overnight.
MCP Just Deleted Sessions. Here's What Breaks in My Production Server — and Why I'm Glad.
The 2026-07-28 MCP release candidate is the protocol's biggest revision since launch: the session layer is gone, three core features are deprecated, and extensions just grew up. I run a production MCP server on Next.js, so I read the changelog with my own codebase open in the next pane. Here's what breaks, what gets better, and my ten-week migration plan.
The Claude Code Stack for Engineering Teams: Skills, MCPs, and Agents That Actually Help
A team-by-team guide to the Claude Code ecosystem — model strategy with opusplan, plus the skills, MCP servers, plugins, and agents (Graphify, Impeccable, gstack, code-review-graph, Serena, ccusage, and more) that actually move the needle for frontend, backend, DevOps, and QA.
