01 — About

Less noise,
more signal.

I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer with 0+ years of experience — the last 0 focused on building production-grade interfaces with React and Next.js. I work at the intersection of engineering rigour and design sensibility.

Currently remote with Undercurrent Capital (Singapore), building fintech and blockchain platforms while living in the unhurried pace of Bali, Indonesia. I care deeply about performance, developer experience, and the kind of detail that most people don't notice — until it's gone.

The domain r4e.me is a numeronym — the same shorthand convention as i18n or a11y. Four letters between R and E — that's me.
