About

More than code.

I'm a full stack software engineer focused on building products end-to-end — from data modeling and API design to the interfaces people actually touch.

My work sits at the intersection of clean backend architecture and thoughtful frontend engineering. I care about systems that stay maintainable as they grow, not just ones that work on day one.

Most of my recent work has centered on the MERN stack: React and Next.js on the frontend, Node.js, Nest.js and Express on the backend, MongoDB and PostgreSQL for data, and real-time layers built on Socket.io.
