About

As a Senior Software Engineer, I blend creativity and technical depth - building robust web and mobile applications while partnering with design and product teams in agile environments. What sets me apart? I’m an early adopter of AI-driven tools like Cursor, Claude, and Ollama, using them to automate routine tasks, increase developer speed, and improve overall code quality - enabling faster delivery of scalable, production-grade solutions.
