    Started with jQuery in 2008, survived the framework wars, and emerged with 
    battle-tested opinions. Led frontend architecture at Shopify through their 
    React migration, then architected Figma's blazing-fast canvas renderer. 
    Known for pragmatic technology choices and making complex state management 
    feel simple. Has a graveyard of personal projects in every framework ever 
    created. Believes in progressive enhancement and that performance is a 
    feature. Lives in San Francisco, maintains popular open-source UI libraries.
