Kier's portrait

Hello, I'm Kier 👋🏻

I'm a full-stack software engineer with years of startup experience. Here's a few things I find myself doing:

Building full-stack apps. 

About Me

Here are some key aspects of my experience, background, and how I like to work.

Full-Stack Toolkit

Building modern web applications with whatever tech stack I need to get the job done. Although I'm a big fan of React and it's ecosystem.

Startup Experience

Proven track record in startup environments, delivering both technical solutions and business growth strategies. No stranger to long hours and late nights.

User Focused

Strong focus on user experience and ultimately solving the most important problems for customers. Painkillers over vitamins, all day!

Team Player

Love collaborating and sharing knowledge with teammates

Continuous Learner

Always exploring new technologies and best practices

Agile

Comfortable adapting to changing priorities, shifting requirements, and fast feedback loops. I thrive in iterative environments and stay focused on delivering value with each cycle.

Pixel Perfect Designs

I get a ton of satisfaction from crafting UI/UX's that are pixel perfect. Always looking for creative ways to make things look better and more intuitive.

Glass Half Full For AI

While others worry about AI replacing them, I see it as a force multiplier. I use AI to work smarter, think bigger, and contribute more to the team. Embracing the inevitable!

Growth Mindset

I get energy from learning — whether it’s a new framework, a teammate’s perspective, or a better way to solve a problem. Staying curious keeps me excited about the work and always improving.

Mentor

I genuinely enjoy helping teammates level up — whether through pair programming, sharing resources, or creating a space where questions are always welcome.

Detail Oriented

I believe small details create polished experiences. From pixel-perfect UI to thoughtful error states, I sweat the small stuff so users don’t have to.

Collaborative

I work closely with designers, PMs, and fellow engineers to build aligned, high-quality products. Communication and shared understanding are key to how I ship software.

Cross-Functional Thinker

Being in the weeds of a codebase is important, but so is a deep understanding of other stakeholders involved. I take from my years of experience working in small, dynamic, cross-functional teams

High Standards

I hold a high bar for the software I build — from code quality and UI design to usability and performance. It’s not about perfection, but about taking pride in doing things right and delivering work that you can be proud of.
