A little about me

Building reliable software
with real-world impact.

I’m a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and deploying scalable, user-friendly web and mobile applications.

My work spans system design, distributed systems, TypeScript, React, React Native/Expo, and Node.js. I’ve helped global teams modernize legacy platforms, move services to secure cloud infrastructure, and build the monitoring and testing foundations that make systems easier to operate.

I enjoy partnering across engineering, product, and DevOps — leading technical discussions, improving code quality, and turning complex requirements into dependable software.
