Frontend craft, full-stack systems, and AI-powered delivery.

I ship interfaces that feel intentional: performance, accessibility, and maintainability baked in from the first commit. Recent work spans design systems, full-stack TypeScript, and pragmatic use of AI in the delivery loop.

Hi! I am Skylar. I care about clear information hierarchy, resilient components, and the small details that make a UI feel trustworthy. When I am not shipping, I am probably refining a design token or chasing a perf win.

Stack

Modern TypeScript from UI to edge.

I work across the stack with a bias toward the UI layer: component architecture, tokens and theming, and shipping static and edge-rendered sites that stay fast under real traffic.

Contact

Open to collaborations and well-scoped product work.

If you are hiring, need a frontend lead for a milestone, or want to compare notes on a technical direction, send a short note with context and timeline. I respond fastest to messages that spell out goals, constraints, and how you measure success.
