About

I’m a builder at heart—part founder, part hacker, all in on technology. Passionate about programming and driven by curiosity, I thrive at the intersection of fast learning, high agency, and creative problem-solving. I explore, build, and iterate relentlessly. Learning is a daily habit, and I’m always digging into new technologies or challenging systems to better understand how they work—and how to make them better. Technical toolkit: - Expertise: Go, Python, Node.js, AWS, Linux, System Design & Architecture - Proficient: HTML, Tailwind CSS, Next.js (React) - Foundation: Data Structures & Algorithms, honed through competitive programming I love designing systems that scale and creating products that push boundaries. Whether it’s a scrappy prototype or a robust infrastructure, I enjoy turning ideas into working software that makes an impact. Let’s build something amazing!
