Code, Create, Explore
I'm a self-taught software engineer who believes the best solutions come from combining technical expertise with real-world perspective.
My Story
With over 5 years of experience in software development, I've had the change of working with companies ranging from innovative startups to established enterprises. My journey in tech began purely out of curiosity to make things work, and it has evolved into a passion for building solutions that simply get the job done.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me hiking mountain trails, catching waves, or planning my next adventure. Continuous traveling has taught me to stay curious, be flexible, and embrace change. I'm here to experience life, not to control it—and these adventures shape the way I approach challenges in this problem-solving field.
What Drives Me
In a field often focused on principles, I believe in prioritizing practical, business-driven solutions. My approach is to build scalable code while delivering features that just work. For me, principles should be a tool, not the focus.
My adventures taught me that flexibility and adaptability really make all the difference.

I work across the stack, from React frontends to scalable backend architectures.
Adventure Mindset
Hiking and outdoor challenges have taught me resilience and being creative.
Flexible & Adaptable
Having traveled to over 20 countries, I've learned to tackle challenges from fresh angles.
Client-Focused
I believe great communication is key to delivering software that truly helps.
Technical Expertise
My curiosity and adaptability have helped me put together a toolkit that works in any situation. I'm always on the lookout for better ways to do things.
