About

Full-stack engineer who consistently delivers high-impact results at scale. Known for being a force multiplier on teams — the kind of engineer who makes everyone around them more productive. Strong technical foundation combined with excellent communication skills makes me equally effective in individual contributor and leadership roles. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can own problems end-to-end and ship solutions that users love. Highly recommended by previous managers and peers alike.
