ABOUT ME
building products with purpose & craft ✎
I'm a passionate full-stack developer with over 6 years of experience building production-grade applications across different industries — from enterprise procurement systems to blockchain-powered marketplaces.
My approach combines strong engineering principles with product-focused thinking. I care deeply about both the technical quality of the code and the experience it creates for end users — whether it's designing a scalable API architecture or crafting pixel-perfect interfaces.
Beyond traditional web development, I've been deeply involved in AI automation workflows and Web3 applications — areas I believe represent the next wave of transformative software.
