About Me

I'm a builder at heart who enjoys turning ideas into products people actually use. My recent work spans Ruby on Rails backend development, API design, enterprise monitoring, and end-to-end web applications.

I thrive when working on scalable systems with teams that value clear thinking and steady execution. Whether I'm shaping the interface or working through backend details, I care about building software that feels reliable, fast, and easy to maintain.

Technologies I've worked with recently:

  • →TypeScript
  • →React
  • →Next.js
  • →Ruby on Rails
  • →Node.js
  • →PostgreSQL
