About Me

I started coding as a curious teenager, tinkering with HTML pages that barely worked. That spark turned into a career building production software used by real people every day.

Over 5+ years, I've shipped everything from e-commerce platforms handling thousands of transactions to data pipelines crunching millions of records. I care most about writing code that's fast, readable, and easy to maintain — no clever tricks, just solid engineering.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new frameworks, contributing to open source, or chasing the best momo spots in the valley.
