Hi! I'm a software engineer with a diverse technical toolkit: Linux enthusiast, polyglot programmer, home chef, and (when time allows) an amateur cyclist. Currently, I'm building microservices and polished UIs at Tailwind alongside a fantastic team.
My focus is building seamless web applications, and I excel in both front-end and back-end development. My experience includes TypeScript, React, SvelteKit, TailwindCSS, Rust, Docker, SQL, and AWS technologies (DynamoDB, Lambda, EventBridge, and more).
I'm an active contributor to the open-source world: check out my Github profile! For a closer look at my work, visit my portfolio where I highlight my favorite projects. I sometimes write about the tools I use or challenges I've solved on my blog. I'm always open to feedback, reach out to me through my socials linked below.
