About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Xolvio where I bring creative technical solutions to life for our clients. My journey in tech has taken me across the full stack spectrum—from crafting intuitive frontends to building robust microservice backend systems. Day to day, I work with technologies like NodeJS, React, Go, Rust, Postgres, Prometheus/ Grafana. Recently, I've been particularly excited about building orchestrations of AI tools to automate complex manual workflows. Behind the scenes, I'm passionate about the infrastructure that makes everything tick—platform architecture, ease of deployments, observability, and metrics that ensure we have the proper insights into our applications. My background in engineering helps me bring a systems thinking approach to everything I build. I'm always learning something new and looking to connect with others who are pushing the boundaries of new technologies.
