Hi, I'm Richard 👋

I'm a Full-Stack Engineer and Technical Lead at KeeniousKeenious and former Founder of Tarrasque.ioTarrasque.io (acquired).

I've been building websites since I was 8 years old. These days, when I'm not coding, I'm being a dad 👶, walking my husky 🐶, hanging out with my cat 🐈‍⬛, or drinking coffee ☕️.

What I do

I build full-stack web applications with TypeScript, React, and Node.js. As a Technical Lead, I get to guide teams through complex technical problems while still keeping my hands dirty with code.

Outside of work, I'm all about building tools that scratch my own itch. I've created open-source apps, packages, and templates for the web dev community. One project grew to 10,000+ users before being acquired. These days, I'm building AI-powered tools for tabletop RPG campaigns - turns out you can combine D&D night with your day job skills.

The best part? Seeing something go from an idea in my head to a tool that thousands of people use every day. That feedback loop - building, shipping, and seeing real impact - that's what keeps me up at night coding.
