API Design
API design is where I connect product behavior to durable system boundaries, so frontend needs and backend capabilities stay aligned.

How I use it
I approach API design from product behavior first: what the interface needs to do, what state it depends on, and how much coupling is acceptable.
That usually leads to smaller, clearer contracts and fewer accidental frontend workarounds.
Where I have applied it
It appears in full-stack product work, open-source tool design, and any project where data contracts shape development speed.
Why it matters
Good API design reduces rework. It lets teams change surfaces without breaking trust between the UI, the data model, and the product logic.
Proof points
- Used in independent studio work and product implementation planning.
- Informed by both frontend-first product work and backend integration needs.
- Most useful when avoiding brittle handoffs between UI and data layers.

Related skills
TypeScript
TypeScript is the default language layer I use to keep product codebases readable, safer to change, and easier to scale.
Node.js
Node.js is part of my delivery stack when product features need backend integration, APIs, or utility services without leaving the JavaScript ecosystem.
SQL
SQL is part of how I make product data usable: shaping schemas, queries, and relationships so features stay reliable as they grow.
