App Not Working on Some Browsers or Devices
Your app works fine on your browser (usually Chrome) but breaks on other browsers like Safari or Firefox, or on specific devices. Features don't work, layouts break, or the app doesn't load at all.
Common Causes
- Using browser-specific APIs not supported everywhere (e.g., some CSS features in Safari)
- JavaScript syntax not supported in older browsers
- Safari has stricter cookie and storage policies that can break auth
- Mobile browsers have different viewport handling
- WebKit rendering differences causing layout issues on iOS
How to Fix It
- Test on the broken browser — open the console (F12 or equivalent) for error messages
- Check Can I Use (caniuse.com) for any APIs or CSS features your app relies on
- If Safari breaks auth, check cookie settings — Safari blocks third-party cookies by default
- Add appropriate CSS prefixes for Safari (-webkit-) and Firefox (-moz-)
- Test on actual devices, not just browser dev tools device emulation

Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds. Outside of work I love hip hop, the Celtics, professional wrestling, magic the gathering, photography, drumming, and guitars (both making and playing them)

I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
It works on Chrome but breaks on Safari. Is that common?
Very common. Safari has different CSS rendering, stricter cookie policies, and some JavaScript APIs aren't fully supported. AI tools typically test only on Chrome.
Do I need to support all browsers?
At minimum, support Chrome, Safari, and Firefox — that covers 95%+ of users. A developer can identify and fix the specific compatibility issues.
