About Me

I’m a full-stack software developer with a strong focus on building data-driven web applications and scalable systems. I enjoy working across the stack — from backend data modeling and APIs to frontend architecture and performance-focused UI.

What I Do

Most of my work centers around designing and building applications that help users make better decisions using real-world data. I’ve worked on projects involving analytics platforms, dashboards, internal tools, and full-stack consumer applications.

I’m particularly interested in clean architecture, performance, and choosing the right tools for the problem — whether that’s React and Next.js, Astro and Svelte, or backend systems built with Node, PHP, or Python.

How I Think About Software

  • I prioritize clarity and maintainability over clever abstractions.
  • I design systems to scale incrementally rather than over-engineering upfront.
  • I value performance and user experience, especially in data-heavy applications.
  • I enjoy learning new frameworks and understanding why they exist — not just how to use them.

What I’m Looking For

I’m interested in roles where I can contribute to meaningful products, work with thoughtful engineers, and continue growing as a full-stack developer. I enjoy environments that value collaboration, ownership, and well-reasoned technical decisions.
