Software Engineer with experience building full-stack and backend systems using TypeScript, Node.js, and React. I enjoy designing clean, reliable systems and shipping features that are used in real-world products. I have worked on production applications ranging from customer-facing web platforms to internal engineering tools, with experience across the full development lifecycle including API design, frontend development, testing, and deployment. In my master’s thesis, I focused on AI-assisted software engineering, building an LLM-powered system that automatically repairs web accessibility issues in frontend applications using RAG and containerized execution environments. I’m particularly interested in integrating AI capabilities into practical software systems, combining modern backend services, scalable architectures, and intelligent automation.
