About
I'm Quinlan, a software engineer with a deep passion for building products that sit at the intersection of design and engineering. I believe the best software is invisible — it feels intuitive, performs beautifully, and gets out of the way.
Over the past several years, I've worked across the stack — from crafting pixel-perfect interfaces with React and TypeScript to architecting scalable backend systems with Node.js and cloud infrastructure. I'm drawn to hard problems and enjoy the process of turning ambiguity into clarity.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new design systems, contributing to open source, or experimenting with creative technology. I'm always looking for the next meaningful thing to build.
