About me

Hey, I'm Kyle. I like building things—whether it’s front-end interfaces, developer tools, or finding the perfect racing line in iRacing. I spend most of my time working with React, making software feel fast and seamless, and obsessing over the little details that make a great user experience. I also care a lot about good keyboard shortcuts and not making people fight with their tools.

When I’m not deep in code, I’m probably chasing lap times in iRacing, watching F1 and convincing myself I could totally be an engineer for Red Bull, or tweaking setups until I forget what “optimal” even looks like. Off the track, I spend a lot of time biking through the city, tinkering with mechanical keyboards, and hanging out with my dog, Wallie—who has no idea what I do all day but is very supportive.
