About Me
Get to know me better
I'm a passionate full-stack developer with over 7 years of experience crafting elegant solutions to complex problems. I have had a winding tech journey working with Internet Service Providers in the early 2000s to leading telecom operations before finally pursuing further Computer Science studies and eventually settling in web development and artificial intelligence.
My Approach: I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that scales. My experience spans from startups to enterprise companies, giving me a unique blend of enterprise best practices and startup speed.
What I Do: I specialize in building full-stack applications using React, Next.js, Node.js and cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS. Recently, I have been experimenting with Generative Ai & ML.
When I'm not coding, you can find mentoring aspiring developers. I'm always excited to learn new technologies.
