About

A little about me

I have a Computer Science background and enjoy building software across the stack — from frontend interfaces to APIs, data models, and backend systems.

I like understanding how things work beneath the surface, turning ideas into practical products, and continuously improving the engineering behind what I build.

I'm currently focused on becoming a stronger engineer in backend architecture, testing, systems, and cloud infrastructure, while continuing to grow my frontend skills and my ability to build complete products.
