I’m a software engineer with 4 years of hands-on experience delivering full-stack solutions. I enjoy shaping architecture, performance, and cloud deployment (AWS) while building scalable APIs and frontend experiences with React/Next.js and Node.js/Go. I’m increasingly involved in technical decisions beyond writing code, aiming for robust, maintainable systems and efficient collaboration across teams. My focus is on delivering value through well-architected applications, measurable performance improvements, and reliable deployments. I’m excited by challenges that require cross-functional coordination and a thoughtful approach to system health, observability, and scalability.
