About

Builder and problem-solver at heart—comfortable across frontend, backend, and DevOps. I like taking on challenges where the path isn’t clear, figuring things out as I go, and shipping products that make a difference. Driven by curiosity and a hands-on mindset, I care about getting things done, learning new tech, and working with people who value speed and ownership. If you’re passionate about building and always up for a challenge, let’s connect.
