Hi, my name is Mae 👋
Welcome to my digital garden 🌱
I love to help product engineers ship better code, faster. To that end, I work on developer experience. I spend my days improving linting and TypeScript configs, wrangling bundlers, speeding up CI pipelines, trying to improve css architectures, and building out design systems.
Currently a Staff Software Engineer at Honeycomb.io.
Co-founder of Dedicated Co. (no longer active).
These are some of my thoughts.
