I'm a senior full-stack engineer with a product mindset and a strong focus on building scalable, user-centric platforms. I specialize in modern web architectures using TypeScript, React/Next.js, and cloud-native backend systems, with deep experience designing APIs, data models, and deployment pipelines that hold up under real-world usage. Most of my work has been in fast-moving startup environments, where I've helped take products from early concept through production, scaling, and iteration. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of technology, data ownership, and user trust — building systems that are not only performant and secure, but meaningful to the people using them. I've worked closely with founders, designers, and cross-functional teams to make thoughtful technical decisions in ambiguous environments, balancing speed with long-term maintainability. I enjoy roles where I can contribute beyond just code — helping shape product direction, architecture, and the overall engineering culture. Outside of shipping software, I stay hands-on with emerging technologies, experiment with new tools, and continuously refine how complex systems can be made simpler, clearer, and more human.
