Building products that scale.

About

I build products that work, scale, and make sense.

Over 6+ years I've shipped banking apps, e-commerce platforms, micro-frontend architectures, and enterprise SaaS products used by thousands. I operate at the intersection of technical depth and product thinking — I understand the business problem behind every feature.

I've led frontend teams, designed systems from scratch, mentored developers, and now I'm leveraging AI-powered tools to multiply engineering velocity and product quality.
