About
Three years of shipping, not just building.
I'm a full-stack developer with 3+ years of experience shipping production SaaS products, from responsive React and Next.js interfaces to Node.js and PostgreSQL backends, including hands-on experience adding AI and LLM features (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude) to real, live products.
I've driven Lighthouse performance scores to 95+, built zero-regression CI/CD pipelines, and mentored a team of junior engineers along the way.
