PM who codes. I ship production fixes to large open source codebases, build AI tools, and write deep analysis on tech, crypto, and business. The goal: close the gap between product thinking and technical execution.

Notable fixes:

• Race condition on new feature flag creation — afterMount fired two concurrent API calls; fixed with a cache-first resolver so the second call only runs if the first hasn't populated state yet
• LLM analytics error state — sentiment API failure left the chart in a broken render state; added proper error boundary
• SQL editor Y-axis settings isolation — settings object was shared across series; scoped per-series key so changing one doesn't affect others
• Insights legend tag suppression — math/SQL tag showed even when the series had a custom name set
• Dialog form isolation — nested dialogs shared a kea logic key; each instance now gets a UUID so form state doesn't bleed across
