## how-i-work

01

Spec before code

Each project starts with a written spec: goals, non-goals, data model and acceptance criteria. It is the contract between design and implementation, and the first thing I would hand a new teammate.

02

AI does the typing, I own the judgment

I direct AI tools through planning, implementation and QA, and review each output the way I would review a colleague: product hat on the spec, team-lead hat on the plan, senior-engineer hat on the code.

03

Ship end to end

I would rather own a system from schema to deploy than polish one layer of it. My independent projects are built to run, not just to compile.
