A foundation in systems.
An obsession with details.

I started in information security and systems administration. I’ve carried that curiosity into development, from understanding the systems underneath to getting the smallest interactions right.

Over the past 5–6 years, I’ve moved from frontend development with React into full-stack engineering. The thread through it all is the same: making complex things feel easy and buttery smooth.

Today, I’m spending my free time learning 3D graphics and tinkering with local LLMs.
