Crafting digital
experiences that matter

I'm a full-stack developer with 5+ years of experience building production-ready web applications. I specialize in React ecosystems on the frontend and Node.js/Python backends — with a strong emphasis on performance, clean architecture, and developer experience.

Currently a Senior Engineer at a Series B startup, working at the intersection of product and engineering — translating complex user needs into elegant technical solutions.
