Engineering Across Boundaries

About Me

I am a software engineer who works across product development, backend systems, and the infrastructure that carries them into production.

I build TypeScript, Angular, React, and Next.js interfaces; design Python, Django, C# and .NET services; and translate business requirements into APIs, data models, asynchronous workflows, and deployable systems. That full lifecycle view helps me make decisions with operability, failure, and maintainability in mind.

Engineering focus Backend, API engineering and microservices
