About Me

My journey into software development began with one goal in mind: to solve real-world problems and impact people through technology. Through my work as a developer for startups, project teams, and large companies, I've gained valuable experience working with a diverse range of technology stacks and tools. Whether I'm immersed in code, leading software teams, collaborating with fellow developers, or engaging with end users, I'm committed to delivering impactful results and fostering continuous learning.

When I'm away from the computer, I enjoy film photography, playing guitar, going on hikes, and finding new recipes to cook on YouTube!
