I’m an open source developer obsessed with building bulletproof tools that feel effortless to use.

I'm building react-shiki, a fast and flexible client-focused syntax highlighter for React. It provides a clean component API like react-syntax-highlighter, alongside a more flexible React hook, bringing the modern, powerful Shiki syntax highlighter to React in an elegant and intuitive package.

I’m also a Founding Engineer at assistant-ui, where we’re raising the bar for developer experience (DX) and accessibility in AI chat. It’s a powerful SDK paired with a shadcn-style UI library, giving you everything you need to spin up an advanced, type-safe chat app with best-in-class design, accessibility, and performance. From a production-grade app in minutes to the most advanced workflows you can imagine, assistant-ui covers the full spectrum with a clean, composable API and exceptional DX.
