A little about me

Built on curiosity.

I’m a software developer focused on backend services and API platform design, with the full-stack experience to take a product from architecture to production.

Backend focus. Full-stack delivery.

I work on products where stability and response time matter. Over the last several years, I’ve built production applications with Django and FastAPI, designed REST APIs, and delivered full features with React. I’m comfortable owning the full delivery path, from data modeling and query tuning to cloud deployment, testing, and CI/CD.

My approach centers on clear service boundaries, reliable integrations, and realistic scope. I choose tools for fit and maintainability, with dependable software and a clear handoff for the team in mind. My freelance work, experience at Global Cargo, and projects like BEACON and Penny reflect that focus on engineering depth and steady delivery.
