Building scalable software that transforms
ideas into products

I'm a Software Engineer passionate about building products that solve real-world problems. I enjoy working across the entire product lifecycle, from system design and frontend architecture to backend development and deployment. Whether I'm creating reusable design systems, architecting scalable APIs, or launching a new SaaS product, I care about writing software that's clean, maintainable, and built for the long term.

Frontend Engineering

Frontend Engineering

I build fast, scalable, and accessible web applications using React, TypeScript, SvelteKit, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. I enjoy designing reusable component libraries, crafting intuitive user experiences, and architecting frontends that remain maintainable as products grow.

Backend Engineering

Backend Engineering

I develop secure and reliable APIs with FastAPI, Python, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, and JWT authentication. From database design and API architecture to cloud deployment, I enjoy building backend systems that are clean, scalable, and production-ready.

System Design & Product Development

System Design & Product Development
