About

I'm a full-stack engineer who bridges the gap between complex backend logic and effortless user experiences. I craft resilient web apps, clean APIs, and intuitive interfaces focused on real performance, maintainable code, and zero bloat.

Working across the entire stack with Next.js, React, Node.js, and modern databases, I'm at my best when taking complete ownership of a feature—from the initial architectural sketch all the way to production.
