About me
I'm a software engineer focused on building scalable products and systems that solve real problems. With a strong background in backend development, system architecture, and open-source collaboration, I enjoy turning complex ideas into reliable, thoughtful software. I like working across the stack, from designing robust infrastructure to shipping user-facing products, and building technology that connects with people and makes a real difference.
