About Me

Software Engineer building reliable products and production systems.

I'm a Software Engineer with more than five years of experience building, deploying, and supporting production applications. I enjoy working across the full software lifecycle—from developing user-facing applications and backend services to automating cloud delivery and improving operational reliability.

My primary application stack includes React, Node.js, TypeScript, and Python, supported by AWS, Google Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and observability tooling. I focus on solving practical engineering problems and building software that is maintainable, deployable, and reliable in production.
