AboutMe
"Growth lies in curiosity—every line of code is a question, every solution a stepping stone to the next challenge."
I'm a software engineer with 5+ years of experience building products that matter—from fintech platforms handling real-world transactions to healthcare solutions improving patient outcomes.
Currently sharpening my cybersecurity expertise at CounterShadow while pursuing my Master's in Computer Science. My foundation? A Bachelor's in Computer Science and an unquenchable curiosity for solving complex problems.
Products & Philosophy
Experience is the difference between shipping a prototype and launching a product that scales. Intelligence alone doesn’t ensure durability—I've learned that through years of working at both ends of the spectrum: enterprise-grade platforms processing nearly $1B monthly and lean startups pivoting fast to meet user needs.
My decisions are shaped by this balance—merging engineering precision with product vision. I've helped startups raise Series A rounds and others secure $100K SAFE funding based solely on the strength of the full-stack platforms I delivered. These experiences set me apart—not just in how I code, but how I think.

Beyond the Code
When I'm not architecting solutions or debugging complex systems, you'll find me at the gym pushing my limits or in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes—both require patience, precision, and a willingness to iterate until perfect.
