About

I'm a passionate Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience turning ideas into reality through web, mobile, and software projects. I've had the privilege of working across industries like healthcare, fintech, and education, where I've tackled everything from full-stack development to UI/UX design and digital strategy. I've led international teams, mentored up-and-coming developers, and always aimed to bring a fresh perspective to every project. I love diving into different tech stacks—whether it's Python, FastAPI, Ruby on Rails, Node, NestJS, or React—and crafting custom solutions that really make a difference. My focus is always on creating things that not only work well but also feel great to use. I'm all about driving innovation, boosting user engagement, and helping businesses grow.Looking forward to what comes next in this ever-evolving tech landscape, and excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible!
