Founder, software architect, and design-minded builder.
I build durable software products with a focus on craft, clarity, and systems that make complex work feel approachable. My work spans Apple platforms, developer tools, product design, visual systems, and applied automation.
The code for my current work is now closed source. Public progress, released work, writing, and ways to work together live here:
- Personal projects and progress: rismay.me
- Help building your product: laussat.studio
- My latest venture: wrkstrm.com
I am the founder of Wrkstrm and Studio Laussat. I work across software architecture, interface design, developer experience, and software infrastructure, with a bias toward tools that are useful, legible, and pleasant to use.
My work is rooted in software architecture and design. I care about data models, interface clarity, documentation, and the operational details that make systems trustworthy. I have built across Swift, Apple platforms, public documentation, product sites, research tools, and developer workflows.
Earlier in my career, I shipped the Google Maps font system. Parts of that work still ship in Google Maps more than six years later. Delivering it required changes across every major Google Maps codebase and deepened my understanding of harness engineering: the systems work that lets large products change safely.
