I build software systems that teams can grow into, and products people actually enjoy using. More than seven years in, I still treat every new tool like a playground and every project as a work of art.
Focus areas: TypeScript, React, Svelte, Node.js, Architecture, Kubernetes, Mentorship, Testing, AWS, Next.js
I build for
impact,
not just for
the tech stack.
I’m Jude, a software engineer who has spent the last seven years turning messy, complex problems into products that feel simple. Throughout my career, I have contributed to impacting business outcomes through effective organization, prioritization, communication, and execution of key project requirements.
I don’t marry a stack. React, Svelte, Node.js, Kubernetes: I pick up whatever fits the job and leave the codebase easier for the next person.
These days I spend most of my time building: designing features end to end, writing the code, and making sure what ships is fast, reliable and secure. I work closely with product to shape ideas into something buildable, and I help the engineers around me grow through pairing and thoughtful code review.

Got a hard problem?
Let’s talk.
Whether it’s a product to build from the ground up, a system that needs to scale, or a team that needs another builder, I’d love to hear about it. I care about the outcome as much as you do.
