Vercel
Core Maintainer of Next.js
Working as a core maintainer of Next.js, focusing on framework development, developer experience, and new features that power millions of websites worldwide.
About
I'm a Software Engineer at Vercel, working on Next.js and developer tooling. I'm passionate about building modern web frameworks and enabling AI agents to work seamlessly with development tools.
I graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2020 and have since been focused on pushing the boundaries of web development. Recently, I presented "Next.js for AI agents" at Next.js Conf 2025, introducing Next.js DevTools MCP that enables AI agents to interact directly with the framework.
I specialize in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and developer experience. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of AI and developer tools, building systems that make developers more productive.
