Hi, I'm Evan — a Seattle-based Principal Software Engineer specializing in frontend architecture and platform engineering. I build the systems and abstractions that product teams ship on top of: design systems, API-first service layers, and developer workflows that scale across multiple products. I'm currently focused on AI-augmented engineering — redesigning how teams scope, spec, and ship software when agents are part of the development process.
