About

I'm a software engineer who loves building clean, reliable systems and solving problems in a way that actually makes life easier for people. I enjoy turning ideas into things that feel smooth, fast, and fun to use- both on the frontend and under the hood.

When I'm not lost in code, I'm usually experimenting with new tech, learning something random just because it seems cool, or trying to explain an idea to someone and accidentally overengineering the example. I'm a big believer in continuous learning, thoughtful teamwork, and keeping a little bit of playful curiosity in everything I build.
