I am a software engineer with 7+ years shipping live products across the full stack — game clients, backends, mobile apps, and internal tooling. I own end-to-end feature delivery, from architecture decisions and performance work to CI/CD and shipping to real users, always combining technical excellence with product thinking. Currently, I’m building PrepForge as a solo founder and CTO — an AI-powered iOS exam prep app in beta on TestFlight. I rely on AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code and Cursor to accelerate architecture quality and shipping speed. I’ve led multi-project experiences across game studios, re-architecting systems, driving performance improvements, and delivering live features at scale. I’m passionate about building maintainable software, mentoring teammates, and shipping reliable products that real users love.
