Status

Open to Work

Focus

Remote-first

I'm a Computer Science student and full stack developer who moves comfortably across the entire stack. On the frontend I turn Figma designs into pixel-perfect React/Next.js interfaces. On the backend I design and ship performant APIs in Go.

With experience across TypeScript, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, REST APIs, and cloud tooling — I bring both user empathy and systems thinking to every project. Obsessed with code quality and production-readiness.

Beyond the Terminal

What keeps me human.

💻

Open Source

Giving back to the community

I explore open-source projects and contribute where I can. Reading well-designed codebases has taught me more than any tutorial — it's how I pick up patterns and sharpen my craft.

Gaming

The best storytelling on any screen

God of War and Uncharted taught me that great UX is emotion, not just function. FIFA and Football Manager scratch the strategy itch. GTA is chaos therapy.

Football

Teamwork on the pitch

Football keeps me grounded. There's a real parallel between a well-run football team and a well-run engineering team — communication, clear roles, and timing are everything.

World-class storytelling

From JJK to Demon Slayer, anime has the best world-building. Black Clover's underdog arc hits differently when you're grinding your craft.
