About

Writing code started off as a hobby, but has turned into a career. I'm a senior software engineer (full stack) and I enjoy every minute of it. I like improving the developer experience for my teams and often write custom plugins (webpack, esbuild, web extensions) to automate build processes and debugging. My current stack is primarily TypeScript/JavaScript, React, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL.
