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. 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 code quality on production-grade systems.
