About
I’m a senior software engineer who leads agile development and ships reliable backend and API-driven features end-to-end. Over the years, I’ve built and refined services with Ruby on Rails, designed REST APIs, and improved time tracking and expense management functionality while keeping performance, code quality, and stability front and center.
I also focus heavily on automation and operational excellence—maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Docker, collaborating across teams, and using testing practices to ensure smooth releases. When building products, I’ve worked across the stack with modern frontend frameworks and cloud microservices, tuning databases and background processing to keep applications fast, secure, and responsive.
