About

Building reliable, scalable systems end‑to‑end.

Over the past 5+ years, I've led and contributed to full‑stack products across fintech, vendor management, and AI‑driven web applications. I work primarily with the MERN stack, combining React & Next.js on the frontend with Node.js, Express, and both SQL/MySQL and MongoDB on the backend.

I enjoy designing architectures that scale as user bases grow, and I'm particularly interested in leveraging AI/LLMs to make web products smarter and more personal while keeping them performant and maintainable.
