Full-stack software engineer building web apps, mobile apps, and backend systems that solve real-world problems. From database to deployment, I ship software that's fast, reliable, and built to scale.

Three years into software, I've published a static-analysis tool on npm, built the app a wholesale business runs its stock and credit on, and led a team at INSA's Summer Tech Camp.
