10+ years of building scalable and thoughtful digital products

I'm a seasoned engineer, epxerienced working with teams worldwide. Over the years I've taken on roles across acrchitecture, backend engineering, DevOps, and AI-driven systems. I adapt quickly and I own responsibility end-to-end.

I care about building tools that are practical, resilient, an genuinely useful. I enjoy being empowered in the era of AI and I love sharing my findings and optimizations with others.

My expertise: Web, RESTful APIs, LLM integration, database optimizations, and more.
