About

I am a software engineer with over 8 years of professional experience working with top-tier companies across three continents. I have a strong engineering background and a passion for automating value-added frontend, backend, and microservice-based solutions through operational excellence. As a lifelong learner and web security enthusiast, I enjoy contributing to open-source projects and continuously expanding my skill set.

When I’m not coding, I enjoy watching soccer, traveling, and spending quality time with my partner and 4-year-old son in Kitchener, Ontario. I’m always looking for opportunities to grow and take on new challenges that make a real impact.
