Founder, software architect, and design-minded builder.

I build durable software products with a focus on craft, interface clarity, native speed, and systems that make complex work feel approachable. My work spans Apple platforms, Swift tooling, product design, visual systems, AI-assisted voice and video, 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, native app performance, 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 interface clarity, native performance, product polish, and the operational details that make systems trustworthy. I have built across Swift, Apple platforms, developer tools, product sites, audience-aware copy systems, AI-assisted voice and video, research tools, and developer workflows.

At Google Maps iOS UI Platform (Dec 2018-Aug 2023), I shipped the Google Maps font system. That system is still used 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.
