01 / About
Engineer by craft, product‑minded by habit.
I'm a full‑stack engineer who enjoys taking products from a blank repo to production. I care about the whole picture — data modeling, API design, frontend architecture, infrastructure and the developer experience that ties it together.
Most of my work lives in the TypeScript ecosystem: React and Next.js on the frontend, Node.js services on the backend, and AWS underneath. I like small vertical slices, fast feedback loops and code that the next engineer will thank you for.
02 / What I do
End‑to‑end, from pixels to production.
I work across the stack so ideas don't get lost between teams.
Frontend Engineering
Fast, accessible interfaces with React & Next.js, design systems and pixel‑perfect component libraries.
Backend & APIs
Well‑typed REST & GraphQL APIs, auth, background jobs and data models built on Node.js and PostgreSQL.
Cloud & DevOps
AWS architecture, Docker, IaC and CI/CD pipelines that make shipping boring — in the best way.
Performance & DX
Profiling, caching and Core Web Vitals work, plus tooling that keeps teams productive as they grow.
