Full-Stack Developer
I build products that feel right to use. Clean interfaces, solid code, thoughtful AI integration. The kind of software that quietly gets the job done.

I turn ideas into software people actually want to use.
My work spans operational tools, creator platforms, and AI-powered systems. What matters to me isn't just making things work—it's making them feel calm, clear, and dependable. Design and engineering working together, not fighting each other.

I spend time with the things that keep me curious — history, architecture, photography, and design. They slow me down, give me perspective, and influence how I approach my work.
