About

I design software the way editors design magazines - every system readable, every detail deliberate.

I’m a software engineer who enjoys turning complex ideas into simple, reliable systems. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve worked across full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and AI - building products that don’t just work, but are built to scale, evolve, and endure.

From crafting intuitive experiences to architecting the systems behind them, I care about thoughtful engineering, meaningful details, and taking ideas all the way to production.
