Keeping a live site moving.
I’m the sole engineer and technical owner of Flowable’s marketing website, from architecture through testing and releases. I scope features with design and marketing, and every change ships while the team keeps publishing.

Craft you can check.
A design requirement becomes stronger when the system can enforce it.
MangaMode checks editor text contrast before packaging each release.
Care when it breaks.

Behind the work
Still me,
off the clock.
The laptop does get closed. Then it’s dad mode, with anime in whatever time is left. That’s where MangaMode began: a little more character for the place I spend much of my day.
Back at the desk, I like staying with a product after its first version. With Nopebook, the sticker was the easy part. Making sure someone’s applications survive a bad save took longer, and it was the part worth getting right.
