About

Transforming coffee into code.

Software engineer who helps teams ship faster and stop drowning in technical debt. Over 7 years, I've turned half-built ideas, stalled MVPs, and messy codebases into reliable, production-ready software for startups and SaaS teams. I own the whole stack: React/Next.js/Vue on the front, Node/Express/Nest on the back, and Postgres/MySQL/Supabase underneath. I also build AI-powered features like chatbots and agents into web apps. Whether it's a new build, an existing product to extend, or a part of your codebase to own long-term, I step in and deliver.
