About
Eight years in. Still curious, still learning.
I've spent the last eight years building scalable, high-performance web applications — usually somewhere between product, design, and, increasingly, AI. I like the parts of engineering that don't always show up on a roadmap: developer experience, technical documentation, technical debt, reading a pull request twice before trusting it, mentoring the person who just joined, asking why before how.
Outside of sprint cycles, I write about frontend engineering — and engineering in general — the wins and the lessons, at Stef's Dev Notes. I also build small side projects: an app that turns appreciation into a slice of cake, a retrospective tool that captures notes continuously through a sprint, and a digital terrarium that grows with your habits and emotions.
