An open source engineer obsessed with the seams between code and people: APIs, interfaces, and all the tiny details that make software feel delightful.
That includes react-shiki, my popular Shiki powered syntax highlighter for React. It provides an intuitive, type-safe API for excellent DX and performance, especially useful for demanding applications like dynamically highlighting code as it's streamed to the client by an LLM.
At assistant-ui, I’m a Founding Engineer helping raise the bar for DX and UX in AI chat apps. assistant-ui is a powerful, open source React/TypeScript SDK providing composable Radix-style chat primitives and a library of beautiful shadcn-style UI components. assistant-ui's goal is to take the complexity out of building advanced agentic apps -- providing the tools and primitives engineers (and agents) need to build the next generation of agent-powered interfaces and experiences.
In my free time I contribute to open source projects and build all kinds of hobby and side projects: dev tools, plugins, websites, and anything else that piques my interest. Check out my repositories to see what I've been working on!
