[TRISTAN SINCLAIR][TRISTAN SINCLAIR]

I'm Tristan — a software engineer based in Palo Alto, California. I’m passionate about building thoughtful, user-centered products that blend clean design with robust functionality. Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors or flying the FPV drones I build in my free time. I'm deeply interested in both hardware and UI/UX, and I’m always looking for ways to bridge the two.
