About

Passionate Software Engineer with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, thriving on shipping high-quality, performant code. Having built and launched multiple independent products, I deeply understand the balance between technical excellence and business value. I specialize in end-to-end implementation, cross-platform development, and leveraging AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor. As an avid traveler, photographer, and filmmaker, I bring a unique creative eye to software development. These pursuits deeply inform my approach to building user-centric, visually excellent software—ensuring that every pixel and interaction serves the user's experience.
