**About me **

## **Engineer by trade,**<br>builder by nature.

I'm Isiah Jones — a software engineer who enjoys building scalable, data-driven web applications. I focus on intuitive UX, performance, and accessibility, and I've shipped products used by real users.

I've led discovery and re-architecture work, partnered with design on roadmaps and UX, and shipped apps that hold up under real use. I work well in Agile teams and I put a lot of stock in process: good product follows from clear planning.
